Jello Eggs for Easter!

At our house it has become a tradition to make jello shaped eggs. They are fun to make and even more fun to share with family and friends. The kids sure get a kick out of them!!
JELL-O EGG JIGGLERS
Egg Mold

1-1/2 cups boiling water (Do not add cold water.)
1 pkg. (6 oz.) JELL-O Gelatin, any flavor

make it

SPRAY insides of both sides of egg mold and along rims with cooking spray. Close mold, matching up rims of egg halves. Snap each of the 6 individual egg halves together until each egg is firmly sealed. Inspect each egg to make sure it is closed and sealed. Place mold, fill-side up, on tray.

ADD boiling water to gelatin mix in large bowl; stir 3 min. until completely dissolved. Pour into measuring cup with pour spout. Immediately pour into mold through fill-holes until each egg is filled just to top of egg shape. (Any remaining gelatin mixture can be poured into custard cup.)

REFRIGERATE 3 hours or until firm. Open mold using a dull flat knife to gently pry between the halves of each egg. (Do not pull on the handle.) Turn mold over and shake gently to unmold eggs. Keep refrigerated.
