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

03 - Place jellyfish gummies as the centerpiece on a large serving tray. Attach gummy worms and candy belt strips beneath each jellyfish to represent tentacles. Scatter decorative jellies, rock candy, and candy pearls around to mimic underwater scenery.
04 - Keep the assembled platter chilled until serving to maintain optimal texture and presentation.
