I made these last year for a Halloween party and they were a huge hit, everyone wanted to know how I did the eyes for these and wanted me to make them again this year. Here’s how to do it.

Frankenstein’s Jell-O Monster

Black and red 3-D paint and brushes (scars and mouths); we used Scribbles
and Tulip Slick brands
Ceramic plate
3-ounce box of Jell-O lime gelatin (makes 2 monsters)
9-or 10-ounce, 4-inch-tall clear plastic cup
Table knife or spoon
2 Maraschino cherries (eyes)
Double-sided tape
2 Rolos (neck bolts)
Crushed Oreos (enough for hair)

How to Make them:

1. Paint scars and mouths on a ceramic plate (1 mouth and 3 scars for each cup). Let them air dry over night.

2. Prepare the Jell-o according to package directions. Pour slightly cooled Jello into cups, stopping 1/2 inch from top.

3. Refrigerate until jello is partially gelled, then remove cup from fridge and use table knife or spoon handle to push 2 cherry eyes into the jello. Refrigerate again until the jello is set.

4. Use double sided tape to attach the neck bolts. Peel scars and mouths off plate and place them on the cup.

5. Cover the top of jello with crushed Oreo hair. Serve immediately or the hair will get soggy.
