Makes
12 Jelly cakes
Ingredients
- 2 x 85g packs lime flavoured jelly crystals
- 600ml water
- a selection of your favourite frog, snake or dinosaur lollies
- a pack of chocolate ripple biscuits
You'll Need
- Multix large foil patty pans
- Multix freezer bags
- Various plastic dinosaurs
Method
- Make 1 packet of jelly following the manufacturers instructions but using only 300ml or 2/3’s of the normal amount of water (so it sets harder) and allow to cool slightly.
- Line a 12 hole muffin tray with Multix foil patty pans. Pour the jelly into the patty cases to 1/3 full. Refrigerate till set (about 1 hour).
- Make the second pack of jelly as above. Allow it to cool slightly.
- While the second batch of jelly cools arrange a selection of snakes, dinosaurs and any other lollies on to the first layer of jelly (you want it to look like a dinosaur swamp). Top up the patty pans with just enough jelly to make the slithery things look like their swimming in the swamp. Return to the refrigerator until set solid.
- Just before serving place the biscuits in a freezer bag and crush with a rolling pan. Use the crushed biscuit on a board or plate to make chocolate soil to serve your jelly cakes on decorate with plastic dinosaurs.
- Serve chilled.
