These are a variation of the Creamy Chocolate Gelatin Squares I made before. Sometimes I like to eat these at night and the caffeine in the chocolate would disrupt my sleep. I know …how pathetic is that! So I came up with a vanilla version to eat as a night time snack.

Chocolate does not contain caffeine.

Hi Bob, It doesn’t have much caffeine but it does have a bit and I can be very sensitive to it. Here is an article if you wish to learn more. https://www.healthline.com/health/does-chocolate-have-caffeine#The-darker-the-chocolate,-the-higher-the-caffeine-content

the great lakes gelatin company has 3 types what type do you use

Hi Jill, I use the red container (usually the beef) because it gels while the green container is collagen hydrolysate and does not gel. I think the beef and the pork work similarly but the beef is considered kosher and for me it’s more readily available. Hope that helps!
