Spook-tacular Halloween Jello Ideas

Jello molds can be really amazing. You can make whatever shape of jello you like, with whatever colors and flavors you want. Edible body parts are fun and you can get brain or heart jello molds to make these, or alien shapes, severed hand shapes and more. Wiggling jello parts are realistic and, even though they look gross, they will taste great!

Kids love eating yucky-looking things, so a jello pudding dirt recipe or red jello heart (the organ, not the shape) would really appeal to them. You can get Halloween jello molds in many shapes and sizes. Halloween cookie cutters are great for jello pudding cookie recipes and these come in cat, ghost and bat shapes, among others.

Cool Ideas for Jello Desserts

Evil Cloud Jello - Make a bowl of orange jello and, when it has partially set, drop some green food coloring on to it. Stir the orange jello gently and you will see the green food coloring drops swirl into dark clouds.

Jello Swamp Slime - You can make jello swamp slime by making some lime jello. Divide it between two containers when it starts to set. Beat one container of jello with Cool Whip or whipped cream. Stir gummi bugs into the other one. Top the gummi bug jello with the creamy jello and let it set completely. If you do not have Cool Whip, you can beat the container of jello without the gummi bugs into a froth with an electric blender or rotary whisk, and then use the froth to top the gummi bug jello.

Bloodshot Jello Eyeballs - Make red jello in small cups and let it set. Put a scoop of Cool Whip in each one, then put a raisin or berry on each scoop of Cool Whip, so it resembles an eyeball. Draw red lines using red food coloring and a Q-tip, so the eyeball looks bloodshot.

How to Make Black Jello

If you use gelatin instead of jello, you can use food dye to make the jello any color you like. You can also add any flavor you like by using essences like vanilla essence or almond essence. If you use jello, you can add drops of food coloring to alter the color.

Making black jello is not difficult. You simply make a dark colored jello like grape or black cherry jello, then some drops of black food coloring. Blue food coloring will make it very dark too, if you cannot get black.

Tips for Making Edible Body Parts

  • Use gummi worms in your jello molds.

  • Use a Q-tip and food coloring for precise jello painting. You can make hair or beard effects this way.

  • Use red food coloring to make red pasta - this looks like intestines. Then you can serve jello body parts on top!

  • Scoop out a "tumor" using a melon baller.

  • Dab red food coloring on to a jello body part to resemble blood. Use a Q-tip for precision.

You can make all kinds of Halloween jello treats. There are simple ones like using one flavor of jello in a spooky jello mold, and then more complex ones like bloodshot jello eyeballs or swamp slime with gummi worms. Find a few spooky Halloween jello recipes, get the ingredients together, and have fun making your spooky confections.

If you have kids, they will enjoy helping you make them and definitely enjoy eating them. If you do not have kids, why not make jello Halloween treats for trick-or-treaters!
