Kitchen Essentials for fun Jello Recipes:

It’s never a bad idea to have some of these kitchen essentials on hand. They’ll come in handy for making more than just red white and blue jello ribbon salad, I promise!

I use my Misto sprayer every single day and parchment paper gets used for crafting just as frequently as it gets used in the kitchen!

I like half sheet baking pans that are quality (hello no noisy pops or sloshed cookie dough from twisting), I line my cookie sheets with silicone baking mats. These are a must when doing cake mix recipes which can settle and become thin at lot easier than traditional cookie dough.

Of course mixing bowls, a mixer, spatula, and some whisks should be on your list if you don’t have ones that you love. I also like to have a set of cooling racks so that my recipes can properly cool before they’re scarfed down by my family!
