Jigglers

These are great snacks for a kids' party, or they can be a fun craft/cooking project to do with kids.

All you need is 2-3 packages of Jello in different flavors and colors. Follow the directions on the package to mix the Jello, then pour into a shallow baking dish or cookie sheet. Liquid should be two to three inches deep for best results, but if using cookie cutters to create shapes, be sure the layer is shallow enough so your cutters wlil go all the way through.

You could also simply cut out the shapes with a sharp knife or pizza wheel. Simple shapes like fat, stubby 5-armed stars, crescent moons, hearts, "gingerbread men", etc. work best.

If you use a cookie sheet, cut the shapes right on the sheet, then release frmo the pan by scooping under the shapes with a pancake turner or flat metal spatula. If using a baking pan, dip the bottom of the pan in warm water for several seconds to loosen the Jello, then turn it out onto a cutting board to cut.
