From the kitchen of Stephanie Knewasser
1 c water
6 oz pckg jell-o, any flavor
1/2 oz unflavored gelatin (2 envelopes knox)
Put water in a small pot over medium-low heat.
Sprinkle jell-o & unflavored gelatin over water.
Using a spoon, stir making sure to break up small clumps.
Continue to cook & stir until it is all dissolved.
When it’s completely dissolved, pour into candy making molds, any shape.
No need to coat mold.
I used a medicine dropper to fill the small molds. Worked GREAT!
This is a fun part for young chefs.
Let set on counter for 20 – 30 minutes to set. The smaller the snack, the quicker the set.
Grab edge of fruit snack & pull out of the mold.
My young chef did this part himself & it looked like he was stretching them into a new shape, but they snap right back. Set on wax paper. They will be sticky. Leave out until they aren’t as tacky to the touch.
Store in a sealed container at room temp.
One recipe makes 1 cup fluid which makes 50 little snacks.
NOTES:
These have the consistency of a fruit snack, but the flavor of Jell-o. They have been a huge hit with the neighborhood kids. Whether out at the pool or playing basketball, they’re easy to grab & eat. Make cute shapes using chocolate candy molds.
Use a medicine dropper.
Squeeze into chocolte molds.
They’re stretchy.
When cooled, pinch a piece & pull. It comes right off.
Endless shape possibilities.
