Hi David,
Most of the party supply places will have brain molds
in stock for Halloween. There are plenty of mail order
places that also stock it, and in various sizes.
My daughter has the brain mold and made one for
their annual Halloween party. No one would touch
it, never mind taste it. They also passed on the
Dishwater Punch and the Kitty Litter cake...too
realistic.<g>
Would you ask Tami if her St. Paul's is the St.
Paul's in New Hampshire? That one is a wonderful
school.
Thanks,
Linda

BRAINS RECIPE
Jello, l large package of lime flavor Jello
1 large package of peach or watermelon flavor
1 can NONFAT evaporated milk
water measuring cup
2 large bowls
1 VERY large bowl
brain mold
cooking oil or non-stick kitchen coating spray
Set the brain mold upside down in its stand and spray
with non-stick kitchen spray, or pour some cooking oil
into it, swirl around, and pour it off and discard. (It doesn't
matter if the mold ends up very oily; most of this will later
rise to the top.)
Make the two packages of Jello separately, following the
directions on the package, boiling water and all, except
use a cup less water in each recipe. Let the two batches
of Jello cool in the two large bowls for half an hour or so.
Then, while stirring, add the can of nonfat evaporated milk
to one of the Jello bowls, and pour this mixture into the
VERY large bowl.
After this is done and all stirred in, begin to add the other
flavor of Jello to the very large bowl, while stirring constantly.
When the brain looks nicely flesh-colored to you, stop adding
the other flavor.
Pour the contents of the very large bowl into the brain mold,
and refrigerate overnight. To unmold, jiggle the whole thing
wildly until you hear the brain flopping back and forth, then
upend it onto a plate, and there you are! (If it STILL will not
unmold, partly immerse the mold in a bowl of warm water
for a few seconds and try again.)
To make blood sauce as pictured, click the How to Make
Blood button on the bottom of the How to Haunt Page. A
supplier of good brain molds is listed on the Sources Page,
reached by a button at the bottom of Darksite Home and of
How to Haunt. You can even buy small brain molds for
individual brains (for your small-minded guests).
Do use NONFAT evaporated milk, or it won't work!
Pumpkin Nook : Flesh Toned Qwiggle Brain Jello Mold Recipe Instructions

Brain Jello Mold Recipe
Cleaning the Mold:
Wash the entire inside cavity of the plastic brain mold
using a soft sponge, dish soap, and warm water before
each use.
Use care to avoid puncturing a hole in the thin areas of
the plastic mold while washing and drying it.
Dry thoroughly before use.
Ingredients:
Three large, 6 ounce boxes of peach or watermelon
flavored gelatin. (Using any other flavored gelatin
will not result in a flesh toned appearance.)
One 12 ounce can of lite evaporated skimmed milk
(99.5% fat free). No other milk will work!
Oil Cooking Spray (to lubricate the plastic mold)
Two teaspoons of vegetable oil (to lubricate the plastic mold)
Green Food Coloring
Three ½ cups of water (2 ½ cups boiled, 1 cup cold)
Recipe Instructions:
Spray a small amount of vegetable oil inside of the cavity
of the plastic mold. Wipe off any excess oil.
Place gelatin from the boxes into a large bowl.
Add 2 ½ cups of boiling water. Stir gelatin with a whisk
until it is completely dissolved, about 3 minutes.
Stir in one cup of cold water.
Add skimmed milk and stir for two minutes. (If a clear brain
is desired, leave out the skimmed milk and add an additional
1 ½ cups of cold water)
Add a few drops of green food coloring to produce the
flesh tone color, re-stir.
Pour gelatin mixture into the plastic brain mold.
Leave approximately one inch space from the top of the mold.
Wrap a towel around the bottom of the mold. The towel will
help to keep the mold upright.
Set the towel and mold in the refrigerator overnight.
Extracting the hardened gelatin from the mold:
Carefully shake the mold until the gelatin is loosened
from the plastic mold.
Put on a cooking glove, and place the open palm of your
hand on the top of the gelatin, and turn the mold over.
Shake the mold again.
Continue to carefully shake the mold until the brain plops
out onto your gloved hand.
Place mold onto a plate or a platter.
Cover the mold with a plastic food wrap and return the mold
to the refrigerator until you are ready to put it on display and
serve it.
