Yummy Jelly Squares
So, can Jelly Squares help you lose weight?? Or Jello Squares, depending on what you call jelly! lol!
1 Small Package of Jello (Jelly!)
1 Cup of Boiling Water
Grease the 8" X 8" Square Pan with a little bit of Vegetable Oil : )
Refrigerate
Cut into squares - Deelish!
OR
1 Large Package Jello Powder + 2 Cups of Boiling Water, bigger pan ; )
OR
1 Cup Jello Powder
4 Cups Boiling Water
A little bit of Vegetable Oil or Butter to grease a large pan
Cut into squares, or slices (very refreshing!), or little shapes with cookie cutters : )
Enjoy! It's all so easy! And delicious!
I mix the Jello with the Boiling Water right in the Measuring Cup - is super fast and easy, and remember to grease the pan with some Vegetable Oil, they won't stick to the pan, they'll slip right ou, easy schmeasy! : )
Oooh, look at how cute!
Tonight I made these tasty little tidbits of flavor before I went to bed - but read longer than I thought I would, so, well, now I'm back up, and the Jelly is ready (set, go! lol!)...
Anyway, I looove the Stouffer's Macaroni and Cheese (if you haven't tried it, yet, omg, it's delicious!)
So I keep the little plastic containers the Frozen Entrees come in, store them away for another day, since they're great for putting treats in, when I'm sending them out to a new home (giving them away!), but tonight I thought I'd halve the water, just use 1 Cup of Boiling Water per little package of the Jello, and I use the normal one, since I don't really agree with artificial sweetener, if you can avoid it, is better to go natural, wherever you can : )
So I just made a normal pan in the 8" X 8" pan, remember to pour in a little drop of oil (Corn Oil, of Safflower Oil - anything with no significant taste), rub that along the bottom and sides, then go ahead and pour in the Jelly...
I like to make these delightful little Jelly Squares before I go to bed, then they're ready in the morning, and kids LOVE to wake up to Jello Squares, that's for sure! Me, too! And hopefully, you, three! haha!
Okay, on with the show... lol! (I just wanted to add that little bit in, from tonight! Ailsa!! : )
You might have had these yummy little Jelly Squares when you were little, or at a party when you were wee, or maybe your mom made them for you, but they're super-easy to make, fun to eat, and if you're watching what you eat, trying to lose some weight, they're a great thing to have in the fridge for those times (sooo many times!! hahaha!) you might want something sweet and yummy to eat.
I love the texture - I'm a big jelly fan, for sures! In Scotland (and probably all through the UK!), they have THE most delicious little jelly squares that they sell in these wee packages, and their jelly squares are seriously condensed jelly - soooo delicious!
I haven't been able to find those jelly squares, here (and I've looked though all the British bits of the shops, here (!), and found lots of Jelly Babies, which I looooove (maybe a bit too much! lol!), and my favourite Licorice Jellies.. ( you know those round sweeties in with the Licorice Allsorts, pink and blue, with little dots all over them? Yum!), but these little Jelly Squares are a lot less expensive, and, hopefully, quite a bit less sugar - maybe because you'll have one or two pieces and feel happy with that, and how much harm can that possibly do, hmmm?? Not much, I say!
Better than a chocolate bar (which I also love! Thus the need for the Jelly Squares! lol!) Anyway, here's how to make the Jelly Squares (Jello Squares). I usually get the WalMart Brand of Jelly, since it's probably half the price of the Jello - and the recipe isn't on those boxes.
