Valentine Jello Hearts

This Valentine’s Day recipe is simple enough kids will have fun assisting and showing off their creation. Now these may seem like typical jello desserts but it is not. This recipe includes more gelatin and sprite. I love that these hearts can be made ahead of time making one less thing to do at the last minute. Can there ever be too many valentines day treats? Check here for more Valentine’s Day recipes and crafts.

Just a few tips:

  • If the Jello does not come out of the mold run a little hot water on the bottom and the hearts will slip out.
  • Order a bite sized silicone heart jello mold delivered to your door.

I am a mom to Five Little Chefs who love to cook and create anything with their hands. Watching over 10 additional hands keeps me busy but is so much fun! We laugh and cry everyday, but then want to do it again the next day. That is how we know we are enjoying life!
