Sugar Free Jello

Where can we find sugar free/aspartame free jello? Jello is the perfect food that is low in calories, but just cant seem to find jello sweetened with splenda. Anybody know if they make a sugar free jello without aspartame?

Jolly Rancher -Jello

I tried the "Jello" brand Jello. It has the aspartame in it..
YUCK!! I felt sick a few minutes after eating a few bites.
Then I saw Jolly Rancher Sugar Free Jello in the cold section of my grocery store and tried it.
Only $2.39 each 6 pack.

It is sweetened with splenda.
The taste is awesome!! It doesn't have a heavy afertaste..
the flavors I have tried are the strawberry/greenapple and the rasberry pack.
I am looking for the watermellon ones but so far havent found them.
There are 3 to 4 carbs from the splenda.
But that isnt so bad for a treat once a day or every other day.

They are slightly tart. Like Jolly Ranchers!

Well, I finally went and looked for the Jolly Ranchers SF jello. I had no luck. :( I only found the regular one loaded with sugar. I looked at Albertsons and Safeway, and no luck. Anyone know where to find these? :confused:

Ask your grocer..

I know at my local grocery stores.. they can order products if they see there is an interest in them.

My suggestion would be to ask the manager of your grocery store. He might be able to order some just for you.

You can always make your own sugar-free & aspartame-free gelatin by using Diet Smuckers juice (it comes in cranberry, pink grapefruit & grape and is fairly low carb) or Ocean Spray light juice, some DaVinci syrup & unflavored gelatin.

Thanks for the tip.. I might try that.
I can always use those cute little throw away plastic containers that you can get for a few dollars. I like to take these to my work. :)

Get some Knox Unflavored Gelatin, some packets of Unsweetened Kool Aid (flavors of choice,) and some Stevia Extract Powder (no fillers) or your sweetener of choice.

1. Mix packet of Kool Aid into 2 quarts (8 cups) of cold water.
2. Add 1 teaspoon of Stevia Extract Powder*
3. Close cap tight and shake.
4. Pour 2 cups of cold Kool Aid into a container.
5. Sprinkle 8 envelopes of Knox Gelatin on Kool Aid.
6. Heat remaining 6 cups of Kool Aid until hot.
7. Pour heated Kool Aid in container with other Kool Aid and Gelatin.
8. Mix until Gelatin is Dissolved.
9. Place in Refrigerator.
10. Once it sets...Enjoy.

*If using Splenda or Saccharin...substitute 1 cup of Spoonable, or
24 Packets in place of the Stevia.
