Jon has to drive to Ogden today for a school thing with UVU. Well we don't have the money to buy a bunch of snacks and junk food for him to eat on his way home tonight, which will be around mid-night...
So I searched through my pantry to find what I could make for him.
Muffins would of course work for a while, but it's Jon... They'll be gone way before he gets home!
So I saw a box of jello! Jello just sounded good! But how to make jello travel friendly? Muffin tins!!!
So here's what I did! Make the Jello as the box directs you to.
You will need Muffin tins not paper or plastic, but metal tins. Place them in the muffin pan and gently pour the Jello liquid into the muffin foil until it is about halfway full, you don't want to go past two-thirds or eating it will be more difficult.
Note: Make sure you don't spill over the edges of the tin, because the jello will slip between the muffin cups and the pan making the eating process sticky.
Put the Jello in the fridge until they are set or until you are ready to hit the road!
The reason for the foil cups is it will help keep the jello cool for longer!
To actually eat the jello you will need to slowly flip the tin foil inside out, don't worry the jello will stick to the cup!
For toddlers they don't exactly get the idea of needing to suck the jello off, so you may just want to give them slirps at a time and if they don't try to eat the cup, they can suck the rest of the jello off the tin, my son loved it!
Just a little confused
I would recommend practicing this with younger kids out of the car, so you can have a pleasant ride, instead of a messy child.
And it's so much fun for adults!
Slurp it up!!!
