Use Jell-O molds for party deserts or family get togethers.
Jell-O is a fun, jiggly treat that comes in all kinds of fruity flavors. To make the snack even more fun and entertaining, use molds to form shapes that fit the theme of a party, or just to make the Jell-O look more interesting. Using a Jell-O mold to create a variety of shapes is not a difficult process.
Instructions
1. Add gelatin to water in a pot. How much water depends on how much Jell-O you are using. Use half the water you need to fully make the Jell-O because you need some later to cool the gelatin down. Follow directions for proportions. Set the pot to boil and dissolve the Jell-O. Stir the Jell-O as it boils.
2. Add the other half of the water to the mix once it has dissolved. This portion of water needs to be chilled cold. Stir the Jell-O as you mix.
3. Coat the entire mold with a non-stick cooking spray if the Jell-O mold is not non-stick.
4. Pour the Jell-O into the mold and place it in the refrigerator. Wait one hour.
5. Pull the mold out of the refrigerator after the first hour if you want to put items in the Jell-O. Mix in anything you want, from marshmallows and candies to fruit and nuts. If you prefer the items to be at the top of the finished product, put them in at the beginning instead, before pouring in the Jell-O.
6. Place the mold back in the refrigerator until it has completely set up. This takes up to two more hours depending on the size of the mold.
7. Remove the mold and place a plate upside down on top of it. Hold the plate and mold at the same time and flip it over. Place the mold and plate on a counter and tap the mold with your hand. Remove the mold to uncover the Jell-O. Keep the Jell-O in the refrigerator until it is time to be served. If the Jell-O won't release, turn it back over and dip the outside of the mold in warm water for few seconds, then try again.
