Mmmm… Jello sweety balls! You won’t believe how simple they are to make and how irresistibly delicious they taste until you try them!
As a party enthusiast, I love creating a variety of treats for kids, ranging from healthier options to sweet indulgences. My Jello Sweety Balls recipe, along with my Peanut Brittle (check it out here: https://livingdelish.com/peanut-brittle/ , is always a hit at kids’ parties!
There’s something special about these Jello Sweety Balls – they’re a classic treat that’s hard to resist. I’m obsessed with them, and it’s not just because they’re “Soooooo goooood”! (Although, let’s be real, that’s a big part of it 😂). I remember enjoying them as a kid when I visited my friend’s house, and her mom would always make them. They left a lasting impression on me!
What’s not to love? They’re ridiculously easy to make, requiring only a few ingredients and just 5 minutes to come together. Any form of Jello is a winner with kids, and I like to mix things up by using different colors and flavors. It’s a simple way to ensure there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Yummy!
