    Halloween Jelly Pots

    Jump to Recipe

    These chocolate lime Halloween Jelly Pots are just the right amount of creepy for kids! They’ll love the eyeballs and jelly worms coming out of the chocolate soil as well as the jelly lime slime. Not just for little ones, they are they are a must for all jelly or chocolate-lime fans!

    The Stars of my Halloween Jelly Pots

    If you like this Halloween jelly idea, you will need the following ingredients…

    The Lime Slime

    You’ll want to use a 135g pack of lime jelly to make yourself. If you are in the US go for a 6 oz pack of lime Jell-o mix and follow packet instructions (note it will make more jelly than you need).

    The Soil Crumb

    So easy to make and you don’t need to use a food processor. Just add a pack of Oreo cookies to a resealable food bag and crush them up using a rolling pin or meat mallet.

    The Chocolate Sauce

    Between the jelly and the Oreo crumb you’ll add a layer of shop-bought ooey gooey chocolate sauce.

    The Jelly Worms

    Any pack of jelly sweet worms or snakes will do. You’re most like to find jelly “snakes” but we are going to use them as worms. Add these just to the top of the soil. I have seen other recipes where they put the snakes into the jelly but I don’t recommend it, the colouring from the snakes quickly seeps off and stains the surrounding jelly.

    The Eyeballs

    Around Halloween time you can find edible eyes in supermarkets as well as on Amazon. You won’t need many, just 3-5 for each jelly pot.

    The Gravestones

    You can buy gravestone cake decorations like the ones I used on Amazon. They are so effective, but if you can’t get any, don’t worry you can make them without.

    FAQ’s For My Halloween Jelly Pots

    Can I prepare these Jelly Pots in advance?

    The jelly has to be made in advance anyway (5 hrs earlier) and you can crush up the Oreo’s earlier on in the day too. When it comes to putting the pots together, do that just before you are ready to serve otherwise the crushed up Oreo’s will sink into the chocolate sauce, along with the decorations.

    Would these Jelly Pots be good to serve at Halloween party?

    Oh definitely! These would be perfect for a Halloween party! You’ll just need more of all the ingredients and time to decorate right before the party.

    Can I give this jelly to my weaning baby?

    Unfortunately, these Halloween Jelly Pots contain too much sugar for babies, and the jelly worms and edible eyes are also a choking hazard.

    How can younger children help make it?

    If you don’t want to surprise the kids, this is a great recipe for them to do. You could all assemble your own jelly pots!

    Can I Store Halloween Jelly Pots leftovers?

    You can store any leftover Halloween Jelly Pots leftovers covered with clingfilm in the fridge until the next day, however, the crushed Oreo’s will sink into the the chocolate sauce as will the decorations.

    Equipment

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 135 g pack of lime jelly cubes or granules (or Jell-O US)*

    Instructions
     

    • Mix the jelly with water according to packet instructions.
    • Pour the mixture evenly into four short glasses or pudding glasses.
    • Chill in the fridge for at least 5 hours, until fully set.
    • In the meantime, prep your Oreo’s. Separate each Oreo sandwich and scrape out the cream with a knife and discard. Add the biscuits only to a resealable food bag, close and using a meat mallet or rolling pin, crush into crumbs. Alternatively, whizz in a blender.
    • Once the jelly is set and you are ready to serve, top the jelly with a layer of chocolate sauce, followed by a layer of Oreo crumbs (roughly two spoonfuls).
    • Then add in your gravestones at the back and add a few worms on top of the Oreo soil crumb, digging the ends of some into the crumb. Dot around a few eyeballs. Serve immediately. You can chill in the fridge for a while, but these are best served within the same day.

    STORAGE

    Any leftover’s should be stored in the fridge, covered, and eaten the next day, although the toppings may merge together.
