How to Make Jack-O-Lantern Jello Snacks
- Draw Jack-O-Lantern faces on Jell-O cups
- Heat water so it is hot enough to dissolve the gelatin
- Add gelatin and mix to dissolve
- Stir in cold water
- Pour into clear cups with pumpkin faces. Pour so the orange is above the eyes.

- Add some green food coloring to the thawed whipped cream
- Spoon onto prepared Jack-O-Lantern Jell-O cups
Pro Tips
Recommendation: Next time I make these fun treats, I will make homemade whipped cream. I know it will stay stiff and hold up better than thawed whipped topping.
