Fourth of July Jell-o Jigglers

My daughter recently discovered Jell-o from a friend at school and has been asking for me to buy some. Immediately the thought of Jell-o Jigglers popped into my head. I am sure we all remember the commercials as kids as the actor held these cool shaped pieces of Jell-o in the air and ate them. So, after some research on good old Pinterest, I found these cool Jell-o Jiggler recipes that would be great for the fourth of July!

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 boxes (3 oz each) of Jell-O. One Red, One Blue
• 2 cups of boiling water

TOOLS:

• 2 9×13 pans, one for each color
• A whisk
• Cooking spray
• Toothpicks
• Cookie cutters (I used stars for the 4^th)

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Spray each pan with cooking spray to keep Jell-O from sticking
• Wipe the spray with a paper towel
• Boil 2 cups of water
• Pour the water into a bowl and add Jell-o mix (remember to do separate bowls for each color)
• Whisk until all powder is dissolved
• Pour liquid into the cooking pans
• Use toothpicks to pop any bubbles that may have formed
• Place the Jell-O into the refrigerator for at least 3 hours
• Once Jell-O is firm pull it out and stamp out your shapes using the cookie cutters

I laid out both the red and blue stars on a tray and topped with whipped cream to make a beautiful Red, White, and Blue Fourth of July snack for the kids!

EXPERT TIPS:

• Keep your water to Jell-O ratio 1:1. Every 1 box of Jell-O, use one cup of boiling water. The box will give different directions.
• Place cooking pan in the sink with one to two inches of warm water before cutting out the shapes. It will help to keep Jell-O from sticking to pan.
