Just like the ones I used to make with my mom as a kid. I never could find her recipe, and I am so thankful it was on here! I don't do the stems, only one year, but I didn't need them on there, just like the ones I had as a kid without them..Thank you! And so easy!

We have been making these for years and everyone loves them! They look so pretty on a cookie or candy tray. They ARE sweet, but if you can find it, you can sub unsweetened coconut for the regular and that helps a lot. Also, sometimes I roll them into red colored sanding sugar instead of the gelatin and they have more of a shimmer-y look to them-very pretty!

To rate the taste of this confection, I give only 2 stars (and that might be generous). To rate the creativity and novelty of the recipe, I give it 5 stars. The strawberries turned out so cute! I used sliced almonds dyed green with food coloring to create the tops, and I rolled the strawberries in red sugar sprinkles rather than strawberry gelatin. I also used brown gel food coloring to ever-so-slightly touch the strawberries to make seeds.

Thank you for posting this recipe. I remember my neighbor lady and me and my sister making these with her. I've been looking for this recipe!

Some in our family liked this and others wouldn't because it was just too sweet. Curl your teeth sweet. I didn't bother forming into strawberry shapes. Just made into balls. After tasting, I didn't roll in the 3 oz. of jello either. I can't imagine rolling them in sugar or the jello because they are entirely too sweet just as is. People who don't care about sugar will love these. Those who like a tarter candy won't like them at all. I'm not sure if I'll make again.

THANK YOU!! I have been looking for this recipe for many years. I remember having these at weddings when I was a kid. No one remembered the recipe. I am so happy!

These are really good. I would recommend making them a little smaller because they are really sweet. I also tried rolling them in coconut (I used pink to maintain the strawberry look), and I liked them more that way. Really good and super easy to make!
