It's an oldie but a goodie and surprisingly quick and easy when you know a few tricks. Read on to find out more.
Ingredients:
Jelly in different colours (make sure the colours are very different so they stand out)
Treats to put inside. Jelly babies and chocolates work well. Don't use anything that is citrus based or the Jelly will not set.
Method:
Follow the instructions on the side of the jelly pack.
This usually consists of putting the jelly crystals into a containing pouring in the hot water. The first tip I have is only use 200mls of hot water at the most. You only need enough to dissolve the crystals then use cold water to top it up. This cools the jelly down straight away and reduces the amount of time needed in the fridge.
Pour the jelly into the glass cups
Add one special treat. It will sink into the first jelly.
Put in the fridge. If you have used cold water it would only take about 2 hours to cool. So at about the 11/2 hr mark you can start making the next lot. This will give it time to rest and cool down even more.
When the first jelly is set. Add some more treats. They will sit on the set jelly.
Add the next lot of jelly. Make sure it is cool before you add it or you will damage your first jelly. Use a spoon to pour it down the glass so it settles gently.
When this is set add some more treats.
Add your next layer which you have made and allowed to cool. Make sure you use the spoon again.
Let it set and you are done.
You can put cream or ice cream on top but we wanted to see the treats or we didn't bother.
YUM YUM
Even though it was easy, it took a lot longer to make then it did to eat. xx
