    I'm so sorry if this posts twice .. But very dumb question .. Do you just mix the jello mix or actually prepare the jello just don't let it set ?!! Please if someone could get back to me ASAP I'd greatly appreciate it - I've been dying to try this recipe! I LOVE MARZIPAN !!

    I made these for my own wedding reception, 25 years ago. I lost the recipe and am delighted to finally find it again! I want to make some for Thanksgiving they are fun and easy to make. I think that they were rolled in appro;riate color jello then in sugar.
