Andrea’s Recipes

I have strong memories of eating this stuff as a kid. It’s the perfect toddler snack—wiggly, jiggly, tasty, and fun to eat. The plain gelatin packs a little protein punch and you can user the sugar-free version of flavored gelatins if you want to cut out the sugar. You can also try the Fruit Juice Finger Gelatin.
