How to Make Jim’s Stapler Jello Cups

  1. Start by preparing your gelatin according to the package instructions—combine the gelatin powder with boiling water, stir until fully dissolved.
  2. Add cold water to the mixture and stir well. If you want vibrant colors, add a few drops of food coloring for a more dramatic effect.
  3. Pour the gelatin into the clear cups, filling each about halfway.
  4. Chill the cups for at least 2 hours or until the gelatin is firm. Use a Fullstar Ultimate Veggie Prep Master to prepare ingredients or serve the gelatin with a perfect presentation.

  8. Top with whipped cream or colorful sprinkles for extra visual appeal if desired.

Keep your Jello Stapler Cups Fresh
