Hey! Anne, this side welcomes you all. As I stand in my kitchen, surrounded by the comforting aroma of nostalgia of Jello Jigglers, there’s a familiar feeling that washes over me—the anticipation of crafting a childhood favorite.
There’s something undeniably magical about this simple yet iconic treat that transcends generations and brings joy with every wobbly bite. I still remember well when I was a kid we used to go on picnics and make Blueberry Cobbler, and Oreo Cake along with Jello Jigglers.
I remember making these with friends, giggling as we waited for the Jello to set, not a care in the world except for how soon we could start munching on them. In our school time, we make for fun, but they always turn out yummy and delicious.
Today, I’m not just making Jello jigglers. I’m taking a trip down memory lane. It’s about reliving those carefree moments of making tasty recipes like and finding happiness in the simple things.
What is Jello Jigglers?
Jello Jigglers are a fun and colorful snack made from flavored gelatin, typically the brand Jell-O. They’re a variation of traditional Jello gelatin but are made thicker to create a more solid texture that can be cut into shapes or simply enjoyed as wobbly squares. They are often a hit at parties, gatherings, or as a simple treat for kids and adults alike.
To make Jello this recipe, you prepare the flavored gelatin mixture as directed on the package but use less water than usual to create a firmer consistency. Once the gelatin sets in the refrigerator, it forms into a jiggly, yet firm, dessert that can be cut into shapes using cookie cutters or simply sliced into squares.
This dish comes in a variety of flavors, ranging from fruity to sweet, allowing for endless possibilities to customize them to your taste preferences. They’re a playful and nostalgic treat that brings joy with every wobbly bite!

The recipe calls for a 3 CUP pkg of flavored jello. Did you mean a 3 OZ pkg? 3 cups of jello powder is way too much, especially for 1 cup of boiling water.
