An Fun, Inexpensive Halloween Recipe for a Spooky and Sweet Gelatin Bloody Brain!
I love Halloween, but I have never been one of those people that have spent crazy amounts of money on Halloween treats. I’m pretty much a “Cheapo”. I’m the person that will just have a simple sandwich, chip bar and ONE scary treat, like this gelatin bloody brain. Call me what you want, but I only splurge my money during Halloween on my son’s, Giovanni, costume. Giovanni will be the AMAZING SPIDERMAN this year, and trust me – I DO mean this YEAR.
My son seriously puts his costume to use and wears the heck out of it, so we try to buy something that will last him, and of course we buy it a tad bit big, since kids grow so darn fast.
This year and last year I will be making a gelatin mold for Halloween. It’s something my family definitely won’t let go to waste, and it was dirt cheap to make. I got this gelatin bloody brain recipe from JELLO’s website; however, I used a generic gelatin, and I chose my own flavor. I like to use cherry gelatin because the end result kind of reminds me of a cherry cheesecake. You can be creative and use whatever flavor you want. I added gummy worms for decoration, but it’s completely optional.
