The Knox Blox I Remember

windy_moon's Note:

My family was outraged when I recently banned premade Jello cups from our house. Enough already with the new convenient society, how hard is it to make Jello? To appease the rioting horde, I promised them I would make the best Jello they'd ever had, Jello they could pick up, the Knox Box I used to eat when I was a kid. Finding the super simple recipe was harder than I thought it would be, but I looked and looked and this is what I remember from my childhood. (The new Jello Jigglers don't cut it for me; they taste too much like gummy bears.) I'm surprised this isn't already on Zaar, but now it is!

• Total Time: 4 hrs 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 4 hrs

Ingredients:

Yield: 75 blocks

• 3 (1/4 ounce) envelopes unflavored gelatin (Knox)
• 4 (3 ounce) boxes Jello gelatin (any flavor)
• 4 cups boiling water

Directions:

1. Put Jello and Knox gelatin into a bowl. Add water and stir until dissolved.
2. Pour into 9x13 inch pan. Cool in refrigerator.
3. When firm, (4 to 5 hours) cut into squares. I've used the chill time as the cook time.

I have the actual well worn recipe and it is a bit different as they use 4 Knox gelatin packets to 3 jello packets with 4 cups of boiling water poured into a 8 or 9 inch pan. I think we liked them thinner so put it in a 9X13 pan.

We loved these. I followed the recipe exactly as written other then I used sugar free jello. They were gone in a day and I had to make more. Great healthy snack for my boys. I remember eating these as a kid too.

Very tasty knox blox, but we prefer ours a bit more rubbery. . .LOL. . .the recipe with 4 packs of Knox and 3 boxes of Jello. I am very glad I tried this out though! I made them into all kinds of shapes for my toddler who believes that jello is a food group.
