Jello Brain Platter

I made this Jello brain platter for my neighbors as a Halloween/Wedding Anniversary gift. I was WAY too excited to present them with it!!!

I bought a clear rectangular platter at the dollar store, borrowed a brain mould from my co-worker Teresa, then shopped around for the fixings.

I picked up some gummy worms and gummy spiders from Shoppers Drug Mart. They sell them in plastic tubs. I also picked up a huge bag of Eye Gum balls.

I always have corn syrup and red food colouring in the house (never know when you are going to need to make some fake blood!)

I used 3 boxes of Lime Jello (tho I did see some recipes online for brain coloured gelatin) and only used half the recommended water so it would set very solid.

Slime Lime Jello Shooters



Lime Slime Eyeball Jelly Shooters

Yield: 6 shooters

Ingredients: 1 package lime Jell-O powder, 6 canned or fresh lychees, 6 maraschino cherries, 6 slices of black grape

Directions: Stuff a maraschino cherry into the lychee without breaking it. Cut slice from outside of grape and place over red part of “eyeball”. Prepare lime green Jell-O according to directions. To suspend eyeball in Jell-O, pour Jell-O halfway up in a square shot glass, large enough to hold the lychee with room around the edge and let set. Place the “eyeball” on the set Jell-O and pour remaining Jell-O into shot glass. Cover and let set.

Personally, I would replace the cold water with VODKA!!!!!
