Instructions

Preparation Method – Make Each Flavor Separately:

To achieve the vibrant, layered effect of a Jello Bento Box, prepare each flavor individually. Follow the steps below for each of the four distinct flavors.

  • Boil one cup of water and pour into a bowl with gelatin and sugar. Stir until dissolved.
  • Add the liquor, juices, and Hedessent flavoring. Stir thoroughly.
  • Pour the mixture into molds and refrigerate for six hours until set.
  • Once set, slice the jello into small pieces and dust with edible glitter or sparkly sugar.

Notes

Pro Tip: Create layers by pouring different flavours on top of each other for a multi-coloured effect.
