With a five-year-old daughter in the house, you can bet we go through a lot of the jiggly stuff, and I still find myself as amused with it as my daughter is. So, you can imagine my excitement when I found this recipe for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/christinebyrne\/xxl-watermelon-jell-o-shots#.yrWdkDaNY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watermelon Jell-O Shots<\/a>, courtesy of the folks at BuzzFeed.<\/p>\n<p>The best thing about this recipe is that it can be made with alcohol or without (if you want to make them for the kids). Great for a weekend get together or even your five-year-old\u2019s birthday party, this recipe is as fun to make as it is to eat. Here\u2019s how I made mine this past weekend:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Start out by gathering up your cooking equipment and ingredients. Yep, if you\u2019re making non-alcoholic Jell-O wedges, all you need is a watermelon and some flavored gelatin. A medium sized watermelon will require three packets of gelatin per half.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cut your watermelon in half, and spoon the flesh into one of your serving bowls. You want to leave a little red flesh left on the rind.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Make the Jell-O and pour it into the watermelon. \u00a0Place the watermelon half in a large bowl to keep your watermelon bowl from tipping over and spilling your gelatin. Refrigerate for four hours until Jell-O is completely set. Once it\u2019s ready, you can slice!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once you have them all cut to your liking, you are now ready to enjoy. They\u2019re a little tricky to slice, and you\u2019ll have to create relatively small wedges. I tried cutting mine to resemble actual-sized watermelon wedges, but the gelatin was too wiggly to allow the wedges to stand upright. WARNING: Making these for a party will make everyone love you.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>REMEMBER: All comments left on the blog this month are entered to win our October prize \u2014 <\/strong><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whataboutwatermelon.com\/index.php\/2015\/10\/october-prize-watermelon-welcome-mat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>the watermelon welcome mat<\/strong><\/a><em><strong> \u2014 so comment as often as you\u2019d like!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>UP NEXT: A SIMPLY, GOOD NEW YEAR\u2019S RESOLUTION UPDATE<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you\u2019re six or 96, there\u2019s only one food that is acceptable to play with: Jell-O!
