- Unflavored Gelatin
- Water
- Gummy Body Parts
Equipment
This is the equipment you need to make these Halloween desserts:
- Small Pot
- Measuring Cups
- Spatula
- Can Opener
- Small Bowls (2)
- Cauldrons for Serving
Instruction Overview
First boil some water with the unflavored gelatin.
Then add the sweetened condensed milk to it.
Pour it into your cauldrons, about half way, and chill until firm, at least 2 hours.
They boil more water and dissolve the lime gelatin in it.
Pour the green into each cauldron on top of the white layer.
Chill again, at least another 2 hours, until ready to serve.
For serving, add your gummy body parts into each cauldron and add some sprinkles if you want!
Modifications and Substitutions
Use any flavor Jello that you like. Green is perfect for a witch cauldron, but orange and purple are also great ideas!
You can also put a body part or two on top of the white layer before adding the green to give it the effect of fingers floating inside the liquid.
Kim’s Tips
The sprinkles and gummy body parts will bleed if left too long in the Jello from the moisture. I recommend only adding them when you are ready to serve them up.
I found these cauldrons at my local dollar store close to the holiday season. You can use any size cauldron, it will just change your quantity of separate servings.
The white layer is important so that you can tell they are green. Without it, it just looks black and is hard to see the color.
FAQs
How many does this make?
It will depend on how large the cauldrons you use are. I got these 4 large cauldrons out of one batch.
Smaller, cupcake size silicone cauldrons would give you close to 8 total.
