You know you’ll be attending a very kid friendly event when the hostess asks you to bring something fancy, and by fancy she means a jello recipe. My college roommate, Mikki, invited us over to their house in Lee’s Summit to watch the K-State/Rutgers bowl game last night. When I spoke with her earlier in the week, I asked her what I could bring. She said “How about if you bring a jello salad or something like that. Oh wait… I know! Why don’t you bring something fancy, like Jello Jigglers.” There you have it… the essential fancy food of kids everywhere…those tasty Jello Jigglers. That’s my kind of fancy… easy to make, inexpensive, and jiggly.

For those of you with kids who don’t know how to make this oh-so-fancy treat, here it is:
