i used sugar free jello and it worked just fine. only took about 30mins to set, sprayed the pan w/ pam and i folded the first bit and held it there a few seconds for it to stick. then they rolled right up and didn't stick to the dish at all. i only cut it into 6 pieces, 12 seemed a bit small. the kids are excited for desert now, maybe they'll actually eat their dinner w/o me having to fuss at them! i'll probably 2x or 3x the recipe next time. maybe the sugar free doesn't make quite as much? doesn't matter though, i refuse to give my kids all that extra sugar.

i was so excited to make these because they are so cute and we love jello, but they were WAY to sweet for us. even the kids only ate one.

I made these for my son's 1st birthday party. Mine did not come out as pretty as the pictures on here for sure. The children at the party seemed to like them, as well as the adults. I used sugar free jello. I had problems rolling my jello up, no matter what I tried, it stuck to the pan and that is probably what caused mine to look so rumpled. I would make it again for sure though.
