# Directions:
01 - Heat fruit juice and sugar in a saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Sprinkle gelatin over the mixture and stir until dissolved. Add food coloring and lemon juice. Pour mixture into jellyfish-shaped silicone molds or substitute molds for body and tentacles. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until set.

03 - Arrange jellyfish gummies centrally on a large serving tray. Attach gummy worms and candy belts as tentacles beneath each jellyfish. Distribute decorative jellies, rock candy, and candy pearls around the arrangement to simulate underwater scenery.
04 - Keep the platter chilled until serving to maintain optimal texture and presentation.
