Would anyone know how to make black Jell-O for Halloween?

[cindy-k-mi]

I'm supposed to take finger Jell-O for my son's Halloween party. Orange is easy, but I want to make black, too. I thought maybe I could mix black cherry with another flavor (color) of Jell-O to get black, but I'm not sure what to use. Any ideas?

How about grape/purple and red? I always get dark gray when I mix those two!

That's not what I meant to say... meant grape/purple and lime/green

mixed together and when cool, I think they'd turn out very dark gray. The primary colors, red-yellow-blue, all mixed together make grayish-brown, at least when emptying Easter egg dye into the kitchen sink ;o)

I saw this last week: jigglers of cut up orange and black cherry jello in a large clear pumpkin bowl

it was cute. The black cherry, while not exactly "black" did the trick.....

I guess squid ink wouldn't work....

How about just adding a few drops of black food coloring to the black cherry jello?

If you mix equal portions of blue, yellow and red food color, it should work.

squid ink?? ewwwww

How about black liquid food color from craft stores or party supply places?

If you could get black tapioca balls, that might be interesting...
