Using Chocolate Molds to Make Jell-o Jigglers

Ever wondered what else you could do with all of those chocolate molds you have laying around? Jello jigglers are a fun way to get some additional use out of them and kids love them. They look absolutely adorable and taste great too!

Any type of 3-D animal mold is sure to be a hit with your child. Chocolate molds that are a little deeper than normal work the best. Most plastic chocolate molds can withstand temperatures up to 160 degrees Fahrenheit so don't worry about them melting.

To prepare the chocolate mold, spray lightly with a cooking spray. Follow the recipe on the jell-o box for the jell-o jigglers, not the regular jell-o recipe which is too soft. You will not be able to pull it out of the mold without breaking it apart. Once the jell-o is prepared, pour into the molds, being careful not to overfill. I find that during this step it is beneficial to have the molds sitting on a cookie sheet or something not too flexible so that you will be able to easily move the molds from the counter to the refrigerator. Chocolate molds tend to be slightly flexible so moving can be difficult without spilling once full. Let the jello-o set up in the refrigerator.

Once the jell-o has solidified, remove the molds from the refrigerator and gently pull jell-o away from the sides of the mold to loosen and then pull completely out of the chocolate mold. If you have to really pry and pull it out, it should bounce right back into shape. You're done. Enjoy!
