 Ingredients:

  • 4 3-ounce packages flavored gelatin (choose your favorite)
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1 1/2 cups low fat milk
  • 1 4-ounce package instant vanilla pudding mix

Directions: Remember to Wash Your Hands!

1. In a medium bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Cool at least 30 minutes.
2. Pour milk into large mixing bowl and add pudding mix. Using an electric mixer, beat 1 minute.
3. Gradually add and beat in gelatin mixture. Pour into a 9x13-inch baking pan. Chill in fridge for several hours.
4. Cut fun shapes with cookie cutters or a knife. Store in refrigerator.


Helpful Hints:

Make several batches with different flavors of gelatin. Let kids experiment with shapes using cookie cutters or a serrated knife, stack up the cut-outs and have colorful creations as part of a healthy snack.

An easy way to remove the gelatin mixture from the pan is to loosen the sides with a knife and dip the bottom of the pan into hot water for 20 seconds. Turn onto a cutting board for easy cutting.


Safety Tip:

It’s fun for kids to watch the gelatin dissolve in boiling water, but the water and steam could burn. Adult supervision is a must on this step of the recipe. Using a 4-cup glass measuring cup for mixing and pouring makes the job a lot easier for kids.
