How to make homemade Nerds Ropes

What you'll need:
  • 4 boxes of Nerds
  • Two bags of gummy bears
  • a rectangular Tupperware container
  • Kitchen sheers
  • A damp cloth
  • Wax paper
  • A plate
  • A microwave
  • A fridge
  • A dry towel
  • A sink or bowl of water
  • Two pot holders


1-Take a rectangular Tupperware container and put wax paper inside of it, shaping it around the container


2- Pour box of Nerds into the bottom of the container until covered


3- Put gummy bears on the nerds (try to get as many Nerds covered as possible) I ended up using 1 3/4 bags


4- Microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute or until the gummy bears are melted. If they bubble some, that's okay! 


5- Take the container out of the microwave and pour the second box of nerds over the melted gummies until completely covered


6- Set two pot holders side by side in the fridge and set the Tupperware container on them. Chill in the fridge for an hour.


7- After chilling, take the Tupperware container out of the fridge and set it on the table or counter top.


8- Take a damp cloth (wrung out well) and place it on the counter or table surface.


9- Take the chilled nerd/gummy concoction out of the Tupperware container, wax paper and all, and set it on top of the damp cloth. Let it sit for a few minutes. (this makes it easier to peel the wax paper off)


9- Cut any excess wax paper away from the chilled nerds to make cutting them easier.


10- Take your last two boxes of nerds and pour them into the now empty Tupperware container. Keep them nearby!


11- Dip the kitchen sheers in a bowl of water or run them under some tap water. This will save you from a sticky mess. 


12- Cut the nerds into strips (one strip at a time) and peel the wax paper off. Try to keep your hands dry, or else you'll have a really gummy mess. It's okay to rinse your hands or dip them in water to get the stickiness off, but dry them after!


13- After peeling the wax paper off of a strip, roll it in the remaining Nerds that you poured into the Tupperware container to cover any exposed gummy areas. I ended up cutting the nerds ropes in half when I did this. Place on a plate and enjoy!

  1. ... this is SO cool! I do recommend making them longer maybe 5 or 6 inches long? That way they really stretch, you can make them on a baking pan like you would use for cookies! Anyway STephanie this is a super neat idea I personally saw it on snapchat but its still really cool! :D
