How to Make Magic Finger Jello

In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of cold water and the Jell-O powder.
Stir until the Jell-O powder is completely dissolved.
Add 1 cup of boiling water and stir until everything is fully incorporated. The mixture should be clear and smooth.
Pour the Jell-O mixture into your chosen mold (a loaf pan or similar will work best).
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the Jello is completely set.
Once set, carefully remove the Jello from the mold and slice into finger shapes.
Using a toothpick, create realistic knuckle lines by poking small indentations along the fingers.
In a separate bowl, mix almond extract and red food coloring to create a realistic blood effect. Apply sparingly to the tips of the fingers for extra spookiness.
Serve chilled and enjoy the screams of delight (and maybe a little fright!)
