I saw this on Skip to My Lou and knew it would be perfect for an activity with Maggie. We made them in a Jell-o Bean mold, or you can use candy molds or probably even silicone ice cube molds.1 3 oz box flavored gelatin
2 packages unflavored gelatin
1/3 c. water
Sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a small saucepan. Let sit 5-10 minutes. Heat over medium heat and stir until dissolved, 2-5 minutes. Pour into your molds (I used a plastic measuring cup with a spout) and let cool for 20 minutes. Pop out and eat!
They came out really easily, but were super sticky to themselves, our fingers... pretty much everything except the mold. So I did dust them with a bit of cornstarch.Update: I made these again using fruit juice. I used 1/2 c. fruit juice and 3 1 oz packages of unflavored gelatin. I used apple juice, so they were kind of gross, but I think pineapple or a red juice would be yummy. They were not as sticky as the jell-o ones.
I made them in a rubber ice cube tray from the dollar store! They came out great once they cooled enough.

Life these days is a roller coaster ride for many of us, be it adults or kids. There are a million things to be done and one is always running against time. One of the things that is generally compromised in this race, is our health. The good news is, that it is something very easy to address and fix. Healthy fruit snacks , easy and quick to make, being one such option. Benefits of eating fruits can never be stressed enough.
