Jello Jigglers for Eostar




Making Jello Jigglers for Eostar is an easy way to make fun finger food to feed the entire coven with little to no effort. All you need are the molds, hot water, and the necessary amount of Jello.




An Alternate is to use cookie cutters. I have a pile of cutters for every holiday.

Prep: 10 minutes

Stir 2-1/2 cups boiling water (DO NOT add cold water!) into 4 pkgs (4-serving size each) gelatin in a bowl. Stir three minutes to ensure the gelatin is completely dissolved.Pour into a 13x9 pan, or the molds.Refrigerate 3 hours or until completely set.


Dip bottom of pan or molds in warm water about fifteen seconds to loosen.Remove from the mold OR cut into shapes and lift them gently from the pan using a spatula.While jigglers remain fairly firm, I do recommend storage in the refrigerator until serving and the same for leftovers.
Gel food colorings from any good craft store also, if you need specialty colorings. Update: I'm happy to report I found gel food colorings in Wal-Mart in the celebrations section near the Wilton cake decorating supplies! I'm stocking up!
Also, don’t forget you can flavor your jigglers with simple extracts added to the hot water just before stirring into the gelatin.
