My friends mom used to make these when I was little, creating a batch of these along with some strawberry knox blox. The Spanish ones are what I remember. Great to make for a Valentines Day treat using heart shaped cookie cutters. The creamy vanilla taste is amazing. So good I had to share.

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.

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!
