Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 envelopes Unflavored gelatin
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Water
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the unflavored gelatin envelopes and 1 cup of cold water. Let the gelatin bloom for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine milk, sugar, and cocoa powder. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar and cocoa dissolve completely (do not boil).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved.
Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the mixture and stir to combine.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared 9x13 inch baking dish, ensuring it spreads evenly across the surface.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then transfer the dish to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours or until the gelatin is firm and set.
Once set, use a knife to cut the gelatin into small squares or desired shapes.
Carefully remove the chocolate Knox Blox from the dish and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
