Tips & Substitutions
For vibrant colors and flavors, choose a variety of flavored jello that complement each other. You can substitute the flavored jello with sugar-free versions for a lighter treat. If you want to enhance the taste, consider adding a splash of fruit juice or a few drops of vanilla extract to the boiling water before mixing in the gelatine and jello.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Knox Blox as a fun, colorful dessert at parties, or alongside a refreshing fruit salad for a light option. They can also be paired with a scoop of whipped cream for added creaminess. For an adult twist, consider serving them with Pineapple Rum Sauce to elevate the flavor experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Knox Blox in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To keep the shapes intact, avoid stacking them directly on top of each other. If they become too soft, you can refrigerate them again briefly before serving to firm them up.
