Let's Make It

Add 1-1/2 cups boiling water to each flavor gelatin mix in separate bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Pour each flavor gelatin into separate 8-inch square pan. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.

Cut gelatin into 1/2-inch cubes; place in large bowl. Gently stir in milk mixture; sprinkle with nuts.

Kitchen Tips

Tip 1

How to Dissolve JELL-O Gelatin

If you've added the water to the dry JELL-O Gelatin and cannot get the gelatin to completely dissolve, place the gelatin mixture in a microwaveable bowl and microwave on HIGH 30 sec. This should bring up the temperature of the water to a point where it is hot enough to completely dissolve the gelatin crystals.

Tip 2

Make Ahead

Prepared gelatin flavors can be refrigerated up to 24 hours before cutting into cubes and using as directed.

Tip 3

Note

If you can only find a 10-oz. can of evaporated milk, measure out 2/3 cup for use in preparing this recipe. Store leftover milk in tightly covered container in refrigerator for other uses, such as to flavor coffee, smoothies or other beverages.
