Homemade Fruit Snacks


These are AMAZING!! Not the prettiest snacks but they are so yummy!

What you will need:
1 Silicone ice cube/chocolate candy tray (make sure it is COMPLETELY Silicone or they will not come out)
1 (3 oz.) box of Jello (any flavor BUT I find the sugar free DO NOT work as well)
2 (.25) packets of unflavored gelatin (found in the baking isle)
1/3 cup water
1/2 small can of crushed pineapple (drained)

Place a small sauce pan on the burner and turn to medium heat. Add water. Add all gelatin to the water and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Add the pineapple. Pour into the Silicone mold. Let sit for AT LEAST 20 minutes. In order to decrease the stickiness place the mold into the fridge for at least 20 minutes before taking the snacks out of the mold.

The flavor I used was Kroger brand Cherry and they are the yummiest i have ever tasted. I plan to get shaped silicone trays and use the same flavor as the shape (i.e. orange/lemon slices with orange or lemon flavored jello, strawberry shape with strawberry jello, etc.) as I think they would make cute gifts.

*****UPDATE*****

Pouring WITH the pineapple in the mix is REALLY messy. Place a small bit of pineapple in the mold before pouring the gelatin mix in. It's MUCH easier!

Also, if you like your treats on the tart/sour side add about a teaspoon of lemon juice. YUM!
