Gelatin when heated will form a sol and when cooled it will form a gel again making it suitable for jelly candy making. This engineering aims to choose the most optimum honey concentration, find out the results of the test of preference level, calculate the nutritional content, and determine the selling price. Engineering was carried out by trial and error, samples were made into 3 formulas with variations in the concentration of honey 30 percent, 35 percent, and 40 percent. Engineering results show that jelly candy with the highest concentration of 35 percent honey. The results of the assessment of the level of likeness of 30 respondents, 43 percent of respondents said they liked the color of candy, 30 percent of respondents said they liked the aroma of candy, 47 percent of respondents said they liked the texture of candy, 37 percent of respondents said they liked the taste of candy.
