From the kitchen of Stephanie Knewasser<\/h4>\n\n\n

1 c water<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

6 oz pckg jell-o, any flavor<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

1\/2 oz unflavored gelatin (2 envelopes knox)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Put water in a small pot over medium-low heat.<\/p>\n

Sprinkle jell-o & unflavored gelatin over water.<\/p>\n

Using a spoon, stir making sure to break up small clumps.<\/p>\n

Continue to cook & stir until it is all dissolved.<\/p>\n

When it’s completely dissolved, pour into candy making molds, any shape.<\/p>\n

No need to coat mold.<\/p>\n

I used a medicine dropper to fill the small molds. Worked GREAT!<\/p>\n

This is a fun part for young chefs.<\/p>\n

Let set on counter for 20 – 30 minutes to set. The smaller the snack, the quicker the set.<\/p>\n

Grab edge of fruit snack & pull out of the mold.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Store in a sealed container at room temp.<\/p>\n

One recipe makes 1 cup fluid which makes 50 little snacks.<\/p>\n

NOTES:<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n
