Rather than packing up glasses and wine, these delicious and delicate white-sangria jellies are a spill-proof and refreshing alternative for picnics. You can also change the recipe up a bit by using different types of fruit that you have on hand. Note: there are certain fresh fruits that should not be used in gelatin recipes: fresh figs, guavas, kiwis, mangoes, melons, papayas, peaches and pineapple because they all contain enzymes that prevent gelatin from setting properly. To use these fresh fruits (except kiwi), simply peel and cut your fruit and simmer them in water until soft, 5 to 10 min. This may help deactivate the enzymes making them usable in gelatin applications.

While these look like muffins, they're really more like moist brownie cakes with nuggets of white chocolate tucked away in the centres. Irresistible!
