Jello Fruit Snacks

These are seriously easy and yummy! You need a jello mold or silicone mold, and the smaller the mold, the more quantity you'll get. To start, you'll need: 1/3c. water 1 small (3 oz) package of your favorite flavor of J-E-L-L-O (we used lime) 2- 0.25 envelopes of unflavored gelatin 1 small sauce pan 1: measure water into sauce pan, and sprinkle all the gelatin on top of the water. 2: put the stove heat onto medium heat. 3: Stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. 4: When gelatin is ready, pour into mold. I used a silicone ice cube tray, and only filled up the bottom. 5: Let the mold sit for about 2 hours. 6: Gently pull the snacks out of the mold. Serve! They are slightly sticky, which can be remedied with a light dusting of cornstarch, or leaving them to dry out a bit overnight. She approves!
