My son loves all things spooky, weird, and creepy. Of course, Halloween is his favorite time of year so we always have fun with this holiday especially with these spooky Jello jigglers!

let’s make spooky jello jiggler

We stumbled upon some cool Halloween-themed ice cube trays and Nicholas asked me to get them so we could do some kind of neat Halloween project with them. He didn’t have a plan for them but he knew we would come up with something, and we did!

We decided to make some spooky Jello jigglers with just the basic jiggler recipe from the box.

spooky jello jiggler ingredients

• 1 cup boiling water (do not add cold water)
• 1 package (4-serving size each) JELL-O gelatin, any flavor

instructions to make spooky jello jigglers

Step 1

Stir boiling water into the dry gelatin mix in a large bowl for at least 3 minutes until completely dissolved.

Step 2

Pour into molds sprayed lightly with cooking spray.

Step 3

Refrigerate for 3 hours or until firm.

Step 4

Remove jigglers by inverting molds. These molds are silicone so they are flexible and easy to pop the ice out of.

Step 5

Store your jigglers in a tightly covered container in a refrigerator or just eat them all in one sitting like our family did!

our experience making spooky jello jigglers

I did learn that you can buy molds designed for Jello at the Kraft Jello website.   They have lots of fun holiday-themed molds available.

I found that sometimes the detailed features of our jigglers would stick to the mold and therefore the jigglers would tear a little when it popped out. Despite some of the jigglers tearing up a little, most of them came out fine.

Our jigglers came out really cool and the whole family really enjoyed chowing down on them. I only regret that I didn’t think to put some gummy worms in the mold.

Skulls with worms inside. Ewww!
