POTTY JELLO
Purchase the plastic bowl that fits in a child's potty training chair
(they sell them at places like KMart). Wash the bowl and prepare
lemon jello per package directions. Float miniature O-Henry bars
in it, refrigerate, and
serve.
DAIQUIRI JELL-O
Large Box (or two smalls) Lime Jell-O
2 cups boiling water
1+1/4 cup cold water
1/4 cup Triple Sec
1/4 cup Dark Rum
1/4 cup Light Rum
Mix the usual way.
STRAWBERRY-BANANA DAIQUIRI JELL-O
Large box of Strawberry-Banana Jell-O
2 cups boiling water
1 cup cold water
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup Triple Sec
1/2 cup Rum
Mix the usual way.
NOTES: These are tasty. The 3/4 cup of liquor gives it a little
more kick.
Good and tasty. I've been making them in 2-oz. plastic "salsa
cups" (those
little wide shallow ones you get condiments in) and a batch makes about
19 of
them.
Halloween Worms
1 pkg. (6 oz.) raspberry or grape flavor gelatin
3 envelopes unflavored gelatin
3 cups boiling water
100 flexible plastic straws
1 tall (same height as extended straws), slend 4 cup container
3/4 cup whipping cream
12 to 15 drops green food coloring
In a bowl, combine gelatins. Add boiling water; stir until gelatins
completely dissolve. Chill until lukewarm, about 20 min. Meanwhile, gently
pull straws to extend to full length; place in tall container. Blend cream
and food coloring with the lukewarm gelatin mixture. Pour into container,
filling straws. Chill until gelatin is firm, at least 8 hours, or cover
and chill up to 2 days. Pull straws from container (if using a carton,
tear carton away from
straws). Pull straws apart; run hot tap water for about 2 seconds over
3 to 4 straws at a time. Starting at the empty ends, push worms from straws
with rolling pin, or use your fingers; lay worms on waxed paper-lined baking
sheets. Cover and chill until ready to use, at least 1 hour or up to 2
days. Worms will hold at room temp. up to 2 hours.
Dinosaur Eggs
2 (6 oz ) pkgs lime gelatin powder
2 1/2 cups boiling water
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup cold milk
1 (3.4 oz) pkg instant vanilla pudding mix
alfalfa sprouts -- optional
In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Stir in cinnamon. In a large measuring cup with a spout, beat milk and pudding mix until blended, about 1 minute. Quickly whisk into gelatin until smooth. Pour into a 13x9x2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until firm. Cut into ovals or use an egg-shaped cookie cutter. Serve over alfalfa sprouts if desired.
NOTES : May also be made in Jell-O Jigglers egg mold.
Coat the inside and rim of each egg mold with cooking spray. Securely
close each egg mold. Place mold, fill side up on a tray. After whisking
pudding mixture into gelatin, immediately pour it into the mold through
fill holds just to the top of the egg shape. Refrigerate for 3 hours or
until firm. To unmold eggs, slide a dull, flat knife between eggs. Gently
pry between each egg (do not pull the handle). Turn mold over and shake
gently to remove eggs.
AQUARIUM JELLO
Great idea for a simple dessert at kid's parties!
goldfish bowl, nice and clean
red hots or Jelly Belly gravel beans
blue Jello
ice cubes
cold water
purple endive
parsley sprigs
gummy fish
Use a new or well cleaned goldfish bowl. In the bottom, the original
recipe called for red-hots as the 'gravel', but I plan to use the Jelly
Belly beans that look like rocks. Mix up as much blue Jello as your
bowl will hold. Mix
using ice cubes & cold water instead of the cold water called for
on the box. Pour this into the bowl over a knife blade or something to
keep from disturbing the gravel. If you want it to have 'seaweed', poke
a couple of
wooden skewers to push gummy fish into different parts of the bowl.
If you're going to be able to supervise the
serving, you could even add a plastic diver man, etc.
TOXIC AQUARIUM JELLO
Well, what we'd do for a Halloween party would be to make a Toxic Aquarium.
Mix orange and blue jello to get a putrid shade of green. Lifesavers make
old tires and you can toss in other junky things for trash on the bottom
of the sea. Something barrel-shaped for that illegally dumped toxic
waste. Float your fish upside-down on top, and add a plastic skeleton or
two.
