2 tablespoons sugar |
1 (3 ounce) package strawberry gelatin (plus 3 tbsp extra as listed below) |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
3 tablespoons strawberry gelatin |
slivered almonds |
green food coloring |
Directions:
1. Mix first 5 ingredients together (excluding the extra 3 Tbsp of strawberry gelatin).
2. Chill in refrigerator for 4 hours.
3. Roll into balls and shape in the form of strawberries.
4. Roll in the 3 Tbsp of gelatin.
5. Top with leaves made from almonds dyed green of green tinted powdered sugar icing.
