Mix the corn syrup into the cold water until it’s dissolved, then add to a pot. Add both packets of unflavored gelatin and the entire packet of Jell-O. Mix until completely dissolved.

Step 3: Heat and stir the ingredients.Heat the pot on the stove for about five to ten minutes over medium-low heat, stirring every few minutes to keep from burning.

Step 5: Press Lego base into molds to make stackable.Take the bottom base of a Lego set and press it into the molds as they cool to add indents on the bottom so they’re stackable.
