I wanted to share with you my Halloween Jello from this year’s family party. Our Brain in a jar Jello. It was creepy, awesome, and the talk of the party. It was also very fun to serve. I’d ask each guest, “Brains?” Then dig in with the scooper to dish out the brains. It would make a slurping slimy sound that was perfect.

I started to write the recipe for this dish but decided it was a little too advanced for this blog’s first recipe. The blue gelatin isn’t just a box of blueberry Jello. That would be too dark and you wouldn’t be able to see the brain. It’s clear gelatin with one drop of turquoise food coloring.

The Brain is made from Strawberry and Raspberry Jello with some gelatin and whipping cream.

I’m going to start with a few of my basic recipes and work up to this level. I’ll definitely have this recipe up by next Halloween. If you would like the recipe and think you are up for a challenge message me and I can send it to. you.

In the meantime, here are a few supplies you might need to get.

• a brain jello mold. I bought mine at the local Dollar Store. But if you can’t find one there, you can find one one Amazon here.
• a trifle bowl
• a syringe
• a couple boxes of Jello in the color and flavor you want the brain
• clear gelatin. You can use Knox gelatin. I use SuperClear gelatin from Amazon, here.
• citric acid, to flavor the clear gelatin
• flavors to flavor the clear gelatin. I use clear flavors like you would use to flavor suckers, like these.
