Weekend creativity in the kitchen

I had a busy weekend getting ready for parties, my grandson, Ashton, turned 5 and had an "all things Spiderman" birthday, so I made him a cake for the occasion...
He had a pretty good day!
Then on Sunday we had our annual "Grandma's Christmas Party". This was an event started by Grandma Betty Tobler years ago where all the "adults" gathered for dinner and a white elephant gift exchange. As the circumstances have changed and people have moved away and grown up it has become an extended family gathering AND white elephant gift exchange. ANYWAY, I experimented with a twist on layered jello.

Using some Knox gelatine and regular jello in pans I came up with this:
I made two pans of jello, after it set I cut it up into small cubes and then mixed it in with some dissolved knox gelatin and a can of sweetened condesed milk.
I lightly greased my bundt pan, stirred it all up and put it in the fridge to set.
The revealed jello mold showed that the jello cubes had floated, I think I needed to wait a litle longer until the condensed milk/knox mix had set up a little more.
I solicited opinions and everyone said it was delicious. It was pretty, tasty, and was gobbled up!
We missed all of our family that used to live in Utah but can no longer attend! Merry Christmas Tobler's!!

  1. I think this turned out so pretty! Major tip you mentioned greased bundt pan . I never think to do this with jello, but it is the difference between beautiful and disaster! thanks for sharing and showing! Wish we could have been there!
