Prepare your workspace by clearing the kitchen counter and gathering all ingredients.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Jello powder and confectioners’ sugar until well mixed.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, stirring occasionally until fully melted.

Add melted butter, vanilla extract, and water to the dry mixture. Stir until it forms a cohesive paste.

Scoop portions of the mixture and form them into small balls or flat discs. Place on parchment-lined sheets.

Refrigerate for about one hour to allow the shapes to firm up.
