Magic Finger Jello Recipes

MAGIC FINGER JELLO

Steps:

• Dissolve unflavoured gelatin in one cup of cold water. Set aside.
• In saucepan bring one cup of water to a boil and add Jello. Bring back to a boil and then remove from heat.
• Add gelatin mixture to hot Jello mixture. Stir and add 1/2 cup cold water.
• Pour into a greased pan, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside in fridge until solid.
• Cut into squares or use cookie cutters to make interesting shapes.
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
• Note: each season it's fun to make these different colours and shapes. In our family we make green and red Jello Fingers at Christmas, at Valentine's Day red heart-shaped ones, St. Patrick's Day green clovers, Halloween orange circles (you can make into jack-o-lanterns) - it's fun for the kids and the Mom and Dad!
• (This recipe is ideal for an 8x8 pan, but for really little kids it's great if you've got a 9x13 as it makes them thinner.).
