Description
Jello Jigglers are fun, colorful gelatin treats that are smooth in texture and fruity flavored. Customize for any holiday with different colors and shapes.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups boiling water, divided
- 2 (3 ounce) packages Jello-O mix, assorted colors
Instructions
- Select either 2 packs of the same color dry gelatin mix, or select 2 different colors:
- If using 1 color: In a large mixing bowl, combine boiling water and 2 packs of dry gelatin mix. Stir for at least 3 minutes until the jello mix is completely dissolved. Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch pan.
- If using 2 colors: In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 ¼ cups boiling water and one pack of dry gelatin mix. Stir for at least 3 minutes until the jello mix is completely dissolved. Pour the mixture into an 8-inch square pan. Repeat again in a different mixing bowl with remaining boiling water and remaining pack of dry gelatin mix. Pour into another 8-inch square pan.
- Refrigerate the pan(s) for 3-4 hours, or until firm.
- Dip bottom of the pan in warm water for 15 seconds to loosen it up.
- Use 2-inch cookie cutters to cut the jello into decorative shapes. Carefully lift the jello shapes out of the pan.
- Store in an airtight container in refrigerator.
Notes
How to store: Carefully wrap your jelly jigglers on a plate or dish in plastic cling wrap or place in an airtight containerand store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. If you add other perishable foods to your jigglers, like fruit, you may need to shorten the storage time to 2-3 days.
Stay on-theme: Choose your color(s) according to upcoming holidays or seasonal themes and match them with coordinating cookie cutter shapes to go the extra mile.
Layer it up: Impress your family and friends by layering multiple colors of Jell-O on top of each other to make these fun treats – just make sure you let the layers set before adding more colors or you’ll end up with a strangely-colored mess and no layers.
Add creative mix-ins: You don’t have to leave these jelly jigglers plain! You can add sliced or chopped fruit or whole berries to add visual interest and increased nutritional value to your jello jigglers.
