Jelly Slugs | Harry Potter

“And get another box of Jelly Slugs, dear, they’ve nearly cleaned us out–” said a woman’s voice.

-Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, J.K. Rowling

Harry Potter banoffee flavoured jelly slugs from Honeydukes | www.FoodinLiterature.com

There’s little known about Jelly Slugs, other than that they’re sold at Honeydukes and seem to be quite popular. So I let imagination take over with this one. I knew I didn’t want a regular jello flavour of lemon or mango or lime. As I was researching slugs, I found out that there are banana slugs found in North America. From there I thought of banoffee pie, made of bananas, cream and toffee, an English dessert, created in 1971 in East Sussex.

Fortunately, in the supermarket, they sell a jar of banoffee dessert sauce, so I decided to give it a go.

Make these jelly slugs from Honeydukes, a popular treat in their Hogmeade shop. We've made ours banoffee flavoured!
Author: Bryt @ InLiterature.net
Serves: 14-16 slugs
Ingredients
  • 1 box of 'make your own/flavourless' jello
  • 7-8 tbsp powdered gelatine
  • ¼ cup water
  • 300g jar of banoffee dessert sauce
Instructions
  1. In a saucepan, over low-medium heat, stir together the jello, powdered gelatine and water.
  2. Stir until all is dissolved and the mixture has lost it's grittiness.
  3. Add in the banoffee sauce.
  4. Stirring, let it heat up, but don't let it boil or bubble, just until the sauce is smooth and flows off the spoon when lifted.
  5. Using a smaller spoon, scoop into the slug mold.
  6. Place the old into the freezer for 5-10 minutes, depending on how warm the mixture is, until it is firm and pops out of the mold easily.
  7. Repeat. If the mixture starts to firm up in the pot, just reheat slightly until it's smooth again.
Notes
The slug mold was created using these two products, purchased via Amazon (affiliate links).

    If I want to make mine a “normal” flavor what could I use instead of the sauce? Anything helps, thanks!

      Any jello flavour or thick sweet dessert sauce should do the trick.

    Hi, are these the same texture as jelly or more stiff? Also do they need to be stored in the fridge? How many days could have make these in advance?

      Hi Lara, they’re stiffer, more like soft gummy candies. All the ingredients are from the shelf products, but I figure storing in the fridge might make them last longer. They’d be fine several days in advance (say 3 to be safe?)

    Where did you get the moulds from? I searched everywhere, but couldn’t find anything that looks even remotely like a slug 🙁

      Hi Dominique, I made the moulds using a slug toy and Easy Mold Silicone Molding Putty. I swear by this putty (which is food grade). It’s really easy to use, meaning we can make any mould we want 🙂

    What’s the difference between the flavorless jello and plain gelatin? I’ve only seen plain gelatin in the US. Can I just use that?

    Thanks!

      Yes. Knox unflavored gelatin works well.

    I’ve looked everywhere, even on the internet, for flavorless jello and it may as well not exist. How much gelatin do I have to use to make this recipe work? I really really want to make this and give it as a christmas gift to my friends, and I have everything I need except the amount of gelatin.
    Also, what kind of gelatin do you recommend?

    The actual slugs that you buy at universal are actually banana flavoured!!

    Hi

    Such a great idea, I love it!
    I made molds of the same toy slugs. As I couldn’t find banoffee dessert sauce in my country, I tried cooked condensed milk (which is sort of toffee) with banana flavour. Worked quite well.

    Now I wanted to take some photographs of the result, using your packaging. But the download doesn’t work 🙁

      I’m going to try condensed coconut milk (as my son has dairy allergy.) when you used condensed milk did you cook it down first? Did you substitute equal volume as the banoffe?

    I love these and want to make them for my sons Harry Potter birthday. He’s allergic to milk and nuts so we are trying to make safe slugs (and chocolate frogs). Is there something we could substitute the banaffee for that’s nondairy? I could do all jello but I love the texture of yours..trying to think what I could sub…

      For the banana slug, you could add condensed down coconut milk or cream, as you mentioned in the other comment, and use a banana food flavour and a toffee food flavour (making sure it’s dairy free). But there are different types of slugs in the world, so don’t feel you have to make banoffee. There are red slugs, so a raspberry dessert sauce could be another option.

    Does the slug toy still exist on amazon? I could only find ones that were sticky and soft/stretchy

What a Halloween that was! 🎃 Incredibly gratef What a Halloween that was! 🎃
Incredibly grateful that we were able to celebrate, even though we did things a little differently. 
With a spider theme in mind, my parent's house was covered with a mixture of white weed mat and cheesecloth. The faux spiderweb material we only used on branches, since the darn stuff is sticky and a nightmare to remove! 🕷️🕸️
Kudos to mom who did the majority of the work, adding in faux dead leaves, branches and trees, turning springtime into one magical night of autumn. Dad was in charge of sound effects and lighting.
Typically we hide as characters or creatures in the garden which slows the kids as they come up to the door, giving them time to look around. They can never tell if something is going to move or not!
Being 2020 though, the 'tension' of coming up to the house was broken because the witches were outside. We placed ourselves at a table with an entrance and exit pathway, reminding them to "stay one broomstick apart"! Let's hope next Halloween we're back to 'normal'. We'll have to make up with some extra scares! 🎃  📸 Photos by our Halloween photographer, dad 😉

'That' Sleepy Hollow scarecrow was the inspiration 'That' Sleepy Hollow scarecrow was the inspiration for our yard haunt back in 2016. Of course, we had to have him in a field of cornstalks... a tricky task when you live in Australia and it's actually coming into springtime!  Dried banana leaves, with its leaves shredded, were tied to old stick fencing. Lit from below, you would've believed the headless horseman was somewhere nearby. 🎃  #halloweenyardhaunt #Halloween

Decorating is a celebration of autumn and October- Decorating is a celebration of autumn and October- a small action that makes an ordinary moment meaningful. It's our way of acknowledging, enjoying, being excited, even grateful, for 'right now'. In years like this one, where we can find ourselves wishing for 2020 to be over, it can be even more important for  these moments. ⁣
So instead of focusing on how I found myself time-warped from early September to the end of October, I'm going to simply celebrate the best week of October.⁣
⁣
200 years ago, Washington Irving published his short story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Some homemade decorations like a Sleepy Hollow sign, faux 'cornstalks' mixed with some storebought decorations have my house filled with October vibes to celebrate the bicentennial. 🎃⁣

[BILBO BAGGINS’ BUTTERED SCONES] It’s been qu [BILBO BAGGINS’ BUTTERED SCONES]  It’s been quite a year… but I couldn’t miss celebrating Hobbit Day!  Mixing up a batch of Bilbo’s buttered scones is an easy way to start the morning off right (and doable before work).  I’ve also jumped back onto Youtube to make these alongside you, but- and I guess this reflects the year- I’m changing up my approach to videos. I’ve relaxed my style, and slowed my pace to capture the comfort of baking and cooking that I love so much.  #lotr #lordoftherings #thehobbit #thelordoftherings #tolkien #jrrtolkien #middleearth #hobbitday #bookworm #hobbitweek #foodinliterature #bilbobaggins
