Ingredients

  • 3 oz Jell-O Whatever flavor you like: Orange, Cherry, Raspberry, Lemon, Lime gelatin e.t.c
  • ½ cup Water Warm
  • 1 ½ cups Marshmallows Mini
  • ½ cup Sugar Granulated or Sanding

Instructions

  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, add JELL-O gelatin and water and whisk everything together. 
  • Microwave for 1-2 minutes until gelatin is fully dissolved. Be sure to stop halfway to whisk everything together. 
  • Add marshmallows and microwave for 1-2 minutes or until they are slightly melted and "poofy."
  • Whisk mixture together until smooth with no lumps. 
  • Pour mixture in a lightly oiled square pan (Dimensions: 9x9). 
  • Chill in the fridge for about 50 minutes. 
  • If you are adding a second layer of JELL-O mixture, follow steps 1-4 again and add the same amount of ingredients again and pour that mixture on top of this set layer. Chill for another 50 minutes. 
  • Once this marshmallow mixture has set, run a sharp knife around the edges. 
  • Then, flip it onto a cookie tray, lined with foil paper that's been sprayed with oil. 
  • Use a sharp knife to cut cubes. It helps to spray some oil on the knife blade to prevent it from sticking to the cubes and making a mess. 
  • Roll them in a bowl of sugar or sprinkles until fully coated and arrange them on a serving dish. 
  • If you are making rolls, cut 1 inch strips instead of cubes and roll them from one end to the other end and push a lollipop stick to hold the shape.  Sprinkle some sugar and enjoy!

Notes

  • Read all my tips above.
  • If you are using a 9x9 pan, you should get about 18-20 cubes or 18 pinwheels. 
  • Must be stored in the fridge and it's good for up to 2 days.
