How Gumballs Are Made

How Gumballs Are Made
Gumballs are made by scoring flavored or unflavored gum into a cylinder shape, where it is then run through a specialized machine to form balls. The gumballs are then stored for several hours at 55-60 degrees to harden. Once hard, the gumballs are put into huge kettles where they are coated with a flavored and colored sucrose solution. After several hours tossing in the machine, the coated balls are dried with hot air and rolled in beeswax or other wax. This final step helps make gumballs shiny and water-repellent, making them the perfect confection to be dispensed from a machine.
