If you have kids like mine, they absolutely LOVE making Jello. I think it’s the fun of picking from all those bright, colorful boxes. But lately, they’ve been getting bored of the same old Jello. You know the drill – they beg you to make it, and then once it’s ready, they refuse to eat it.
That’s why I was super excited when I stumbled upon this Jello Roll-Up recipe! First of all, it’s still Jello – which they adore making. But even better, it’s a fun twist on the classic. These roll-ups are a whole new treat that’ll have them excited to eat, especially since they get to brace yourself… unroll it with their fingers! (Trust me, when you make these, you’ll be doing the same thing too…).
Ingredients
- 1 small package of Jello
- 1/2 cup of boiling water
- 1 cup of small marshmallows
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the Jello mix and hot water.
- Stir until completely dissolved. If it’s not dissolving, microwave the mixture for 30 seconds and keep stirring. Repeat until fully dissolved.
- Add the marshmallows and microwave for another 30 seconds.
- Stir until the marshmallows are completely melted.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 8″ x 8″ pan and refrigerate for at least one hour.
- Once set, use a knife to cut around the edges of the pan to release the Jello.
- Roll the Jello as tightly as possible.
- Cut into 1″ wide pieces using a sharp, thin knife.
Notes
The marshmallows will rise to the top of the Jello mixture as it sets, so there’s no need to make two different mixtures.
