KNOX BLOCKS



Knox Blocks image

Enjoy and old-fashioned favorite. I have loved Knox blocks since I was a kid and was surprised to not see a recipe here. So I thought I would add one. For those who don't know what Knox Blocks are they are the original Jello Jigglers and I think a little more tasty.

JELLO SQUARES



Jello Squares image

This is my two granddaughters favorite snack. We use different colors of jello according to the theme we are doing, such as red and green for Christmas. I use pastel colors for Easter and I have used green for St. Patrick's Day. This is really easy to prepare and I have found out that the adults like them as much as the children do. Also they are fat free!

THE KNOX BLOX I REMEMBER



The Knox Blox I Remember image

My family was outraged when I recently banned premade Jello cups from our house. Enough already with the new convenient society, how hard is it to make Jello? To appease the rioting horde, I promised them I would make the best Jello they'd ever had, Jello they could pick up, the Knox Box I used to eat when I was a kid. Finding the super simple recipe was harder than I thought it would be, but I looked and looked and this is what I remember from my childhood. (The new Jello Jigglers don't cut it for me; they taste too much like gummy bears.) I'm surprised this isn't already on Zaar, but now it is!
