Questions & Replies

1. Hello all, may I recommend getting grass-fed gelatin over Knox? It’s available by the pound and is way better for you. This way you can get a good healthy dose of balancing amino acids for your body without any gmo weirdness and ethical dilemmas that part of the gelatin Knox uses. I make flavored gelatin and pour into mold or pans and eat them like a treat even though they’re great for joint, gut and skin health. Plus grass-fed gelatin cuts down my recovery time after exercise significantly, which means a lot at 52 y/o.

1. I have been making this recipe for nearly 40 years, now. I think they are actually called “Knox Blox” (a play on the spelling). I’ve found that using only boiling water, rather than half cold and half boiling water, eliminates the film that often forms on the surface of the jello when setting. Also, try cutting the set jello into very small pieces and alternate layering it with whipped cream in wine glasses or champagne flutes for a delicious and simple make-ahead dessert.
2. So happy to have found this. My mom use to make these for me all the time when I was little and would get sick they were my favorite sick good and snack whenever. Over the years she forgot how to make them and lost her recipe. I made these tonight for the 1st time ever and I’m in love took me back to being a kid again. My mom was happy she said wow never thought I would get to eat another one of these. My nieces who are 17 and 10 years old never had them and they loved them as well and the 17 year old does not like hello but she loves these. I am over the moon that I found this recipe and it is so easy I will be making these a lot.
3. I had always made these for my children and had originally found the recipe on a Jello box. I always forget the ratios so this is a Godsend. I still make these and have adults that have never tasted one. They all love them and want to make them for their grandchildren. This recipe has surely stood the test of time!

I am 33, an enterpreneur and I own a media/marketing company Juricic Media, Inc. I was just married Sept 29, 2007 to my wonderful husband Chris. We also have a Basset named Joey and a Kitty named Chessie. No children yet but I hope to have a least a couple in the next few years. One by the time I’m 35 maybe another a couple years after that. We need to be alot more financial stable before we venture into parenthood. It helps to actually be able to feed your children.
