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!!!
I made these with lemon jello instead of cherry because I’m not a big cherry fan. They were delicious and I plan to try other flavors as well.
I am going to make these tomorrow, but with orange Jello. I was wondering how strong the flavor comes through with only one box of Jell-O? I have two boxes, but I’m unsure as to if I should use them both. I am really looking forward to an orange creamsicle cupcake. I hope you can help me out before tomorrow. Thank you so much!
Hi Julie! How did it turn out? I would have guessed one box would have been enough. Would love an update!
