Ingredients

  • 1 3 oz pkg package flavored JELLO gelatin NOT pudding, any flavor
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1-1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Whisk the gelatin mix and warm water together in a medium microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high for about 1-1/2 minutes, then whisk again until the gelatin is completely dissolved into the water.
  • Stir in the marshmallows. Microwave everything on high again for another minute, or until the marshmallows are partially melted. Remove the bowl from the microwave and whisk again, this time until the marshmallows are completely melted and stirred into the gelatin mixture.
  • Pour the gelatin mix into an 8-inch square pan sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Refrigerate for about 45 minutes, or until set. Run a sharp knife around edges of the pan to release the gelatin from the pan.
  • Starting at one edge, roll up the layered gelatin tightly, like a jelly roll. Cut the roll into 1/2-inch slices. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Doesn't have to be JELLO brand gelatin. Can use any other brand including the store brand; however, make sure it is flavored gelatin and not pudding mix before using.
  • Use different flavors for different colored tongues- we will make several batches so there's different tongues to choose from on the dessert table. Kids love the variety.
  • You can serve these as is once cut, or add a couple edible candy eyeballs to give them even more of a monster look.
