Heart Jello

If you’re looking for an easy special treat to serve on Valentine’s Day to serve your kids? Try some of these fun recipe ideas:

Jello Love

1 Lg box Jello

1 heart shaped cookie cutter

Preparation:

Follow recipe on box for Jello Gigglers. Chill in a long shallow pan. Cut out hearts when jello is set. Or you can step it up a notch and add some condensed milk and layer the jello with a condensed milk/gelatin mixture and create a fun layer affect.

Dissolve one package of flavored gelatin in 3/4 cup boiling water. Add 3/4 cup cold water, then pour the mixture into a 9- by 13-inch glass pan and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Stir together 1/2 cup boiling water and the condensed milk. In a separate bowl, dissolve all the unflavored gelatin in ½ cup cold water for 1 to 2 minutes. Thoroughly mix in 3/4 cup boiling water, then combine this mixture with the milk and let it cool. Add half the mixture to the pan of red gelatin, pouring it over a spatula to slow the stream, and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Continue alternating layers — gelatin mix, the remaining milk mix, the final gelatin mix — chilling each for 20 to 30 minutes to set it. Create individual servings with a heart-shaped biscuit or cookie cutter.
