This DIY candy recipe is the stuff dreams are made of. To me, it is what a unicorn egg would look like.
The candy is a wonderful example of gluttony and excess at its finest. The recipe calls for Gushers, Fruit Roll-ups and Fruit by the Foot. To be honest I didn't even know they continued making these delicious candies from the 90s, and what a fantastic way to find out. Preparation includes taking an entire box full of each, and wrapping the Gushers with the other two candies. And thus, you have created the 'Super Gusher.'
Please remember that this candy recipe should be enough to feed at least a few kids. Don't try and be a hero and eat it all at once.
