Servings: 4
Equipment
- Measuring cup
- small saucepan
- spoon
- bowl
- 4 clear plastic cups
Ingredients
- 2 cups water divided
- 3 oz package strawberry Jello
- 12 Lychee
- 12 green grapes
- 12 black or brown Jelly Belly Jelly Beans
Instructions
- Boil 1 cup of water in a small saucepan, then stir in the gelatin for a few minutes until fully dissolved.
- Stir in 1 cup of cold water. Pour the mixture into a bowl and refrigerate it for 1 ½ hours to firm only slightly.
- Insert a jelly bean into a grape where it came off the vine.
- Insert the grape into the lychee to form the “eyeballs”.
- Add a little gelatin mixture to the bottom of the cup, then add an eyeball.
- Repeat this with 2 more eyeballs and gelatin. The total eyeballs and gelatin should be divided between 4 Halloween Jello cups.
- Refrigerate the assembled eyeball Jello cups for 2 ½ – 3 hours to allow the gelatin to set fully.
Notes
- Room Temperature: Don’t leave out for more than 2 hours—heat and humidity can cause spoilage.
- Refrigerator: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3–5 days. Serve chilled.
- Freezing: Not recommended—freezing ruins the Jello’s texture.
