Okay, so it is not actually glow-in-the-dark Jell-O, but it looks really cool! Besides, that could be hazardous to your health. I have done this for kids parties and with Jell-O shots for adult parties.
It’s very simple! All you need to do is to place your Jell-O mold or whatever other creation you’ve come up with, onto a glass platter and light it from underneath with a flashlight, glow sticks, flashing lights (like the small disk type used on bicycles) whatever. The way I have done it is to place the flashing light, or flashlight into a shallow glass or clear plastic bowl that is deep enough to hold the light and sturdy enough to put under the platter. I have heard of using a Bundt cake pan, or other pan with a hollow center (for the flashlight) as the support for the glass platter, but just make sure it is placed where it won’t be bumped or knocked over.
Same deal with the Jello shots - just try to find the clear little plastic shot-cups instead of the more common opaque ones, so they will glow well. Stick something oooey and gooey on top of each one!
The glowing effect works best with green or orange jello (or anything that is not too dark). Be creative! If you are using a mold, mix in a few gummy spiders as the jello sets, or arrange them on the mold at the last minute. Just don’t over-do it, or the glowing effect will be diminished.
