Well, that's not good news.  I just purchased these jello molds to use when the grandkids come to visit.  I figured berries and ice cream or maybe brownie cups

I hope someone called the Jello people about this.  Must have been a bad batch.

@SharkE  A guy I went out with in college invited me to his house for dinner.  His mother made jello for dessert.  She literally poured it into dessert dishes.  I looked around the table and they all acted like it was the most nomal thing in the world!

I hope they had something else in addition to jello for dessert. I can't imagine offering that to guests.

Hmmm, I didn't think that the gelatin from boiling the bones from pigs and cattle ever expired.

I solved that problem. Jello, is out. Great Value jelled up in an hr. Solid, no soup.

Throw in some nuts or marshmallows and I'm back in

business.

Don't know if this will help, but sometimes jello will not set if the water you use isn't at a rolling boil.  Heating it in the microwave is sometimes not enough. It has to really be boiling.

Never was a problem in the past.

think Kraft/Heinz Co. is doing something different

I'm just buying Walmart Great Value brand

cheaper, too.

I make jello, usually plain, two to three times a week and never have a problem. I always use the one cup boiling water and then add one cup cold water method. Sets up every time....just made some blueberry yesterday and no problem.

@SharkE : So sorry that you are having this problem.

I discovered last week that the Nilla Vanilla Wafers have changed. The expiration date on the box was 2025. They just tasted different and not as crispy. DH agrees with me.
