Ingredients:
- 4 boxes (85 grams each) Jello gelatin (choose your favorite flavors!)
- 2 1/2 cups boiling water
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Gelatin:
- In a mixing bowl or directly in a saucepan, stir the boiling water into the Jello gelatin until completely dissolved. This step is crucial to ensure the gelatin sets properly.
-
Set the Mixture:
- Lightly spray a 13×9 inch pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Pour the dissolved gelatin mixture into the pan evenly.
-
Chill:
- Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours, or until the gelatin is completely set and firm. You can check after 1 hour; the Jigglers should be firm to the touch.
-
Cutting the Jigglers:
- When ready to serve, remove the pan from the refrigerator. To loosen the gelatin, dip the bottom of the pan in warm water for about 15 seconds.
-
Shape and Serve:
- Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the gelatin. Press the cookie cutters all the way through to the bottom of the pan to ensure clean shapes. Lift each Jigglers carefully using an index finger or a metal spatula.
-
Enjoy!
- Serve these delightful Jell-o Jigglers on a platter and watch them disappear! They are perfect for parties, school events, or as a fun treat at home.
