Equipment

  • pitcher

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces orange gelatin powder
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • gummy body-part candy available at local supermarkets
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Dissolve the gelatin: Pour 2 cups of boiling water into a heatproof glass pitcher. Add the orange gelatin powder and stir well until completely dissolved.
  • Fill and chill the cups: Divide the gelatin mixture among 3-ounce (80 ml) plastic mini cups. Refrigerate for about 1 hour, until partially set.
    Note: The gelatin should be soft and slightly firm but no longer liquid. It shouldn’t be completely set because the gummy candy needs to press easily into the gelatin.
  • Insert the gummy candies: Remove the cups from the refrigerator and gently press one gummy body-part candy into the partially set gelatin in each cup.
  • Chill until firm: Return the cups to the refrigerator for about 2 hours, or until the gelatin is completely set.
  • Serve: Remove the Jello cups from the refrigerator 10 to 15 minutes before serving to let the gummy candies soften slightly. Serve chilled.

Recipe Notes

Storage and Make Ahead

Make Ahead: Prepare the creepy Jello cups up to 1 day ahead. Keep them covered in the refrigerator until serving.
Refrigerator: Store leftover Jello cups covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. The gummy candies may soften during storage.
Freezing: Do not freeze the Jello cups. Freezing and thawing can change the gelatin’s texture and consistency.
