Jello Easter Bears and Daisies

Jello Bears and Daisies

1 small 3 oz. box jello

1 envelope Knox unflavored gelatin

1 c. boiling water

1/3 c. heavy whipping cream

I used to different flavors of jello to get the different colors, so I made the recipe twice to fill both of these trays. A single recipe will fill either the Teddy Bear Tray or tray of your choice.

In mixing bowl stir together Jello and Knox gelatin. Gradually add boiling water and stir to dissolve. Add cream and mix well. Pour into the Teddy Bear and Daisy tray and refrigerator for 2-3 hours, makes approx. 9 bears and 10-12 daisies.

Chocolate Painted Easter Baskets

Impress your Easter guests the “Demarle way"

Melt a bag of your favorite chocolate chips with 1 Tbsp. of shortening, then using the pastry brush, paint 2 layers of chocolate in each Brioche or shape or your choice. While the 2nd layer is still tacky, using either bubble gum tape or licorice press into both sides of the cup to create your handle. Once chocolate losses it’s shine remove each bowl from the tray and fill with your choice of filling.

These are also great to make without the handle and use for any dessert basket. You could fill them with pudding, ice cream, strawberries and whipped cream etc...
