When Jello Jigglers go wrong...

...horribly, horribly wrong.

As you know from previous posts, my Dear Hubby's birthday party is today. The menu centered around his favorite foods: pizza, cheese and crackers, devilled eggs, more pizza and Dr. Pepper. Since DH is a huge football fan, I wanted to make jello jigglers in these super-cute jello molds (helmets and footballs). What a perfect touch to really celebrate the birthday boy, right? Such a Martha thing to do!

Well, it didn't turn out the way I had planned. I let the jello sit overnight, and when it came time to unmold the jigglers, they just would not cooperate. I had sprayed the molds with Pam, but the jiggler would not jiggle out.

So I put the bottom of the mold in hot water for a few seconds and the jello got all runny. This is what they looked like.

Needless to say, we did not have jello jigglers for the party. But we did enjoy a very large bowl of misshapen jello clods last night. Tasty.

Happy Birthday, DH!
