This study used a completely randomized design with one factor with eight treatments, namely carrageenan and gelatin formulations. The formulation used was 2%: 0%; 4%: 0%; 2%: 15%; 4%: 15%; 2%: 18%; 4%: 18%; 0%: 15%; 0%: 18%. The best results of jelly candy treatment with carrageenan concentration of 2%. This resulted had moisture of 12.462%, ash of 0.597%, reducing sugar of 8.79%, total acid of 0.401%, pH of 4.76, gel strength of 36,706 N, color intensity of L 35.4; a* 8.3; b* 13.5. Based on organoleptic characteristic, its color value of 4.84 (rather like), aroma of 4.76 (rather like), texture of 4.76 (rather like) and flavor of 5.20 (like).
