I grew up eating Jello jigglers and wanted to recreate that as a healthy recipe for my kids. Fortunately, it’s super easy to make a homemade finger jello using only two simple ingredients.
Ever since I discovered how easy it is to make jello without all of the food coloring and additives, we’ve started making it quite frequently. It’s one snack that doesn’t last long in our refrigerator.
All you need to make finger jello at home is plain gelatin and juice. No need for extra sweeteners, artificial food coloring, GMO ingredients or preservatives.
And it’s so much healthier. It contains none of the types of ingredients that you find in the national brand. In comparison, check out the list of ingredients you’ll find in Strawberry flavored JELL-O:
Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Sugar, Gelatin, Contains less than 0.5% of Adipic Acid and Citric Acid (for Tartness), Sodium Citrate (Controls Acidity), Red 40, Artificial Flavor.
I feel much better feeding my family this simple homemade finger jello recipe. It’s a tasty and healthier snack idea!
