Are you ready to make this easy and fun Halloween snack? Let’s make sure you have everything you need…

Ingredients needed: 

  • Orange Gelatin Powder – 3 oz. box
  • Hot Water – 1 cup
  • Cold Water – 1 cup
  • Clear Plastic Cups – I used 9 oz. cups
  • Black Sharpie
  • Whipped Topping – Thawed or Homemade whipped cream
  • Green Food Coloring

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.
  • Place in fridge to firm up. This will take about 4 hours.
  • 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.
