Candy Corn Jello Mold

I wished I had found this post a few days ago. It's made by the wonderful Food Librarian. (I'm always excited to see the next grand thing that's going to pop out of her kitchen.) And this month was no disappointment. Visit her blog here to view the full recipe.

Creepy Jell-O

Jell-O's not always the happy fun colorful dessert you think it is. Sometimes Jell-O can be downright scary and I'm not talking about The Swedish Salad Mold. I'm talking about freaky and creepy Jell-O.


Here's the undead Jell-O found by Geekologie. You'll need to eat it before it eats you... or I guess you could always just kill it with fire. You can find this mold here at Think Geek. (You can also try brushing on some red food coloring when it's out of the mold for an extra bloody effect.)


Of course if you are a zombie, you might prefer the brain Jell-O mold. I'm assuming Jell-O is a bit more appetizing than actual brains. You could also try filling this mold with the "pink salad" to make it extra revolting.
Found at The Daily Dairy and you can buy a brain mold of your own here at Think Geek. (You can also fill your Jell-O mold with some spaghetti to make it look extra brainy.)



While we're on the subject on internal body parts, you might want to consider trying an anatomically correct heart. Nothing says "I love you!" like giving that special someone a still beating heart... or at the very least a Jell-O mold shaped like a real heart. Found here at Sick Kitchen and you can buy the mold here at Anatomical Chart Company. (I would highly suggest using the bleeding heart recipe.)

Enjoy!

Citrus Surprise with Whipped Jell-O

Really there's nothing surprising about this Jell-O mold. Which is exactly why it tastes so good. It doesn't have eggs, or veggies, or vinegar, or spam. It's made with just plain old Jell-O and canned fruit. It was also surprisingly easy to make. The top layer is simply whipped Jell-O, that you make by taking the stiff Jell-O and beating it like egg whites until it's thick and frothy. Then the bottom layer had orange Jell-O and fruit. I used Mandarin oranges for mine.
See the recipe below:





p.s. I know I've been a bad Jell-O blogger lately. But I just got two amazing new Jell-O cookbooks, so there will be more to come soon!

If it were there... you'd eat it.

How to: Encase a Stapler in Jell-O

Oh, I have no patience!
I've been saving this post for April Fool's Day, but I just can't wait!

Do you have a Dwight in your office?

Now you too can encase his personal belongings in Jell-O!

See the complete instructions here on The Office Fan Site: The Jell-O Stapler.



Here are some of the examples from their site:

pink salad and chicken pie

When I think about Jell-O one of the first things that comes to my mind is, tomato sauce. I'm not quite sure what the connection is... perhaps tomato aspic? But tomatoes and gelatin most certainly belong together.

First off we have this delightful recipe for "Pink Salad." Now I've made lots of pink salads before, strawberry ice cream, raspberry whipping cream. But I've never tried a recipe quite like tomatoes and mayonnaise before.




Next up we have this avant-garde recipe for Cardinal Chicken Pie.
I bet you've never tired a pie like Cardinal Chicken Pie.
You can make it with chicken, tuna, crabmeat or lobster!







Enjoy!
