She does such a great job taking the pictures the entire way thru the process of cooking. This has to add atleast 30 minutes to the cooking time.
So i decided to do my own recipe, this one is great for kids and super easy!!!
Jello Jigglers.
Purchase 1 set of cute ice cube trays (in the dollar spot at target, but $2.50) or even regular ice cube trays should work too.
Spray container with cooking spray, enough to coat the container to allow for the jigglers to pop out easily.
Ingredients:
1 C Hot water (I use a 2C measuring cup)
2 packets of jello, any flavor, even sugar free.
Heat water in Measure cup for 2-3 minutes until boiling. The hotter the water, the better the gelatin will melt and mix.
Mix 1C hot water and 2 packets of any type of jello in the measuring cup.
*Note, if you mix cherry and lime, it looks like a pretty gross brown. I recommend 2 of the same flavor or similar color.
Pour the mixture into the ice cube trays as seen below.
Make room in the fridge before transporting. Jello can be really sticky if spilled.
Place in fridge for 1 hour.
Remove from fridge, use a knife to remove jello from ice cup tray.
Enjoy. These treats can be placed in a lunch box as a great surprise for the kids. They are easily handled by kids of all ages. This is a great and easy treat if used with sugar free jello.
Note:
The original recipe calls for 2 1/4 C of hot water and 4 jello packets. I found this made too much liquid. I had used a 8 cup measure cup to heat the hot water in and mix the jello packets. However, i had to transfer into a smaller measuring cup to pour from as not to spill. You can also just make this amount and pour into a 9x13 pan and cut the jigglers into small squares as needed. A lot of fun for the kids to pick the color/flavor of jello, watch the mixing of the jello and water and taste the final treat.
