Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces flavored gelatin (e.g., strawberry, lime, or orange)
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flavored gelatin and unflavored gelatin.
Pour 2 cups of boiling water over the gelatin mixture and stir constantly until completely dissolved. This may take about 2 minutes.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the mixture and stir well to combine.
Pour the gelatin mixture into a 9x13-inch glass or nonstick pan. Ensure the mixture is even and smooth.
Let the pan sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to cool slightly, and then transfer it to the refrigerator.
Refrigerate the gelatin for at least 2 hours, or until it is completely firm and set.
Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the gelatin into squares, rectangles, or fun shapes using cookie cutters.
Carefully remove the pieces from the pan and serve as a fun, wiggly snack that can be eaten with your fingers!
