  1. OMG! I am a diabetic and one of my favorite flavors is grape and they don't make a grape flavored jello but they do make grape kool-aid!!! This is an awsome recipe and I can't wait to try new flavors.
     
  2. I had been having troubles finding certain flavors of the sugar free jello lately. Then I thought my grandmother used to always make she’s with the unflavored gelatin. Then I started researching how I could make it with Stevia. WOW this recipe was an answer to many solutions. I use the baking stevia and a packet of the unflavored Kool-Aid and this is the best jello ever. I get so excited to eat my lunch I can have my sweet treat. I am now thankful that finding the sugar free jello had become an issue especially with orange. Now I still love orange but now I can make GRAPE ?????? Thank you for having this recipe available for us.
     
  3. This is SO good. It's been way easier for me to always grab the very limited flavors off the shelf than figuring out how to make my own. My daughter and I have been missing our favorite flavor though: grape. I made this with 10 of the pink packets of artificial sweetener just because I know that my xylitol and erythritol neither one dissolve well. One Koolaid packet is a teaspoon and just the one packet had plenty of flavor. A sugar-free/low carb diet yields few treats that aren't Frankenfoods, thank you for one more option!
     
  4. Add sugar the same way I salt my food. At the table ONLY. Never, or rarely cook/prepare food with it. It works for me and I can season the jello to the level of sweetness that I want at the moment.
     
  5. looks like a good recipe to use to make a sugar-free version of the blue Jell-O since Kraft Foods doesn't make a sugar-free version of that flavor just gotta be careful though as I don't know what sweetener this person used but on the website for Splenda, the sweetener I use, it says that the equivalent to 3/4 cup of sugar is 18 packets, not 10....though I could probably just measure out 3/4 cup of the granulated Splenda too
