Equipment

1 plastic brain mold
1 – [at least] 4 cup capacity glass measuring cup with handle and pour spout

Ingredients

vegetable cooking spray
1 3oz cherry gelatin
1 3oz peach gelatin
2 cups water
2 cups milk I used 2% lactose-free, but can use regular
red GEL food coloring you can use regular; however, the "arteries won't be as detailed

Instructions

Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Pour both packs of gelatin into measuring cup. Carefully add boiling water to cup and stir continuously until all gelatin has completely dissolved (approximately 3 minutes). Add 2 cups of COLD milk to the measuring cup and stir until combined.
Spray the brain mold generously with vegetable oil. Add 7-10 drops of food coloring beginning on edges of top of mold, allowing them to slide down to create the appearance of arteries. VERY SLOWLY pour gelatin mixture into mold, trying to avoid disturbing the “arteries” too much.
Place mold in the refrigerator and let cool until firm – approximately 4 hours [can be left overnight].
After set, remove mold from refrigerator. GENTLY tilt mold and lightly jiggle, turning the mold in a circle until you are sure all sides have released from mold. Place a plate on top of mold, hold mold firmly, and invert. Gently lift mold off of gelatin creamy creepy Halloween brains! Enjoy!

Notes

Switch it up a bit! Use green gelatin to create alien brains. After you've added cold milk and mixture has cooled enough, add some gummy worms to help "eat" the brains! The kitchen is your playground! Remember to always have fin in the kitchen. Cheers!
