Many moons ago, when my son was in toddler group, a friend brought in these irresistible fruit snacks. I've been passing on the jiggler tradition while my baby girl has been participating in toddler group and I get so many requests for the recipe, and hopefully this tradition will continue. If you are (or ever have been) the mom of a preschooler, you know that providing snacks can be a tricky business with the prevalence of allergies and dietary restrictions. For kids of most any age, jigglers are a big hit with only juice, fruit and gelatin on the ingredient list.

I haven't shared a recipe in awhile and, since I've been cranking these out almost weekly (once I make them for snack, we get on a jiggler kick), they seemed like a great one to pass on.
Juicy Strawberry Jigglers
(Makes 24
jiggler squares)
Ingredients
11/2 cups juice
(divided) (I used Tropicana Farmstand Strawberry Banana, but you can use any juice – Trader
Joes Strawberry Kiwi juice is really good with this, too)
1 cup frozen
Strawberries
2 envelopes
unflavored gelatin
1Tablespoon
sugar (optional – I use about a teaspoon if I'm using strawberries)
In
Blender-blend together 1-cup juice and frozen strawberries until smooth. Pour
into a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
Stir occasionally to break up the frothy bubbles
Meanwhile,
place the remaining ½ cup juice in a large bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over
the juice (let it stand for 1 minute).
Add hot juice until gelatin completely dissolved (about 5 minutes)
Pour into 8
x8 and refrigerate until firm (3 hours)
