One of the listed ingredients is “Instant Cherry Jell-O.” There is no such thing as INSTANT Jell-O…so???
Please assist.
Thank you.
Hi Mom! So happy you found our cherry treats! The recipe should be written to include cherry Jell-o. We don’t think there’s such a thing as “instant” jello, so please use regular Jell-o or gelatin. Hope you enjoy it!
These are wonderful! I love them. I used my substitutes for the healthy way and it was great! Thank you!
I am so enjoying the recipes you share here & will be very busy trying them out on my co-workers. I have enjoyed the novel & hope many more take the time to read it.
Have read the book months ago-wonderful read. How can the recipe call for either 1 or 2 boxes of Jell-o?
OH MY GOODNESS!!! My husband and I made thee this weekend and I have to say they were a HUGE hit!!! I absolutely LOVED them! They have become my new favorites and we will definitely be making them again!
My husband and I are enjoying baking together and it has brought us closer. I can’t wait for our son to be old enough to help us too. But he sure loves it when Mommy & Daddy bake!!!
Thanks agian to all who contribute these awesome recipes. I’ve never baked anything from scratch before, but have to say, I will NEVER use a boxed cake again! And, it’s so not as hard as I thought it would be!
Thanks for the great family memories we are making!!!
That is wonderful, Tammi! Thank you for sharing this with us! Feel free to snap pictures of your baking and your final product and share with us! Keep on baking!
