Recipe(tried): Finger Jell-O, for kids of all ages

Suzanne - I LOVE finger Jell-O, especially for children's parties. Here are a few different ways to make it.

For kids of all ages!

FINGER JELL-O aka KNOX BLOX

4 envelopes Knox Unflavored Gelatin
3 packages (3 oz each) flavored gelatin
4 cups boiling water

In a large bowl, combine Knox Unflavored Gelatin and flavored gelatine; add boiling water and stir until gelatine dissolves. Pour into large shallow baking pan (for example, 13''x9'') and
chill until firm. Cut into squares to serve. Makes about 100 one inch squares.

ANOTHER FINGER JELL-O

Three 3 oz pkgs Jell-O (any flavor)
1 c Whipping cream
2 c -Boiling water or flavored juice

Boil water. Add gelatin and Jell-O, stirring until dissolved very well. Add whipping cream and continue stirring. Pour into 8 x 8 pan and chill well. When firm, cut into squares or rectangles, or use cookie cutters to cut into shapes.

MULTI-COLORED, LAYERED FINGER JELL-O

To show off your layering, pick your Jell-O flavors so that each layer is a very different color from the adjoining layer. Or, add whipping cream to one of the layers to lighten the color. Many layers can be built up this way.

When layering Jell-0, you can make the layered treat so the different layers stick together tightly, or you can make the layers so they "peel" apart. Kids seem to love the peel-apart layers. The difference is the amount of time you allow each layer to gel before adding the next.

To make layers that stick together, chill each layer until set, but not firm, before adding the next layer.

To make layers that peel, chill each layer until almost firm before adding the next layer.

Except for the first layer, the gelatin mixtures should be cool and slightly thickened before
being poured into mold -- if the mixture for the new layer is too warm, it may soften the layer beneath and mixtures may run or mix together. Hint: If this happens, tell you friends you did it intentionally.....psychedelic Jell-O.
