Recipes to use with the creepy hands gelatin molds?We Answered:
Make the "jigglers" recipe on the back of the Jell-o box. I like to mix a yellow & green flavor for a really sick looking green. Works every time. You can also get food paints to paint the nails an off-white.I always plate my "hands" on a large platter (with a lip) on top of mounds of coolwhip. Then I drizzle "blood" (raspberry sauce) on top.
