I need an edible cell that will not rot for a kid's class project. 3D.

Any ideas.

Currently I can only think jell-o jiggler filling with candy stuck in. Anything better?

does it have to have that jiggly texture? hard candy is super easy to make (you could even construct a little mold, maybe using some greased wire in a sheet pan and get something that looks like a bunch of connected cells) plus it won't rot til the year 4563

well, cells aren't exactly crunchy. perhaps you were going to take a purist's approach to the whole experiment. why do the cells need to be edible?

Lilith,

While it may be a bit advanced for this project, you may want to keep Jell-O Shots in mind for future Science Projects.

Thanks for the ideas. His teacher is killing me. I am thinking I may try rice krispy treats as a base to stick the "parts" in.

Are they really gonna eat it after it's been looked at and touched by sneezing, sniffly classmates? Ewwww!!

A cell.... it's been a few years but it seems to me the daughter made hers with a variety of things. I don't remember what kind of cell it was. Using a picture in her school book she matched shapes. Off hand I recall potato sticks, mini marshmellows, cheese nips, jelly beans, cheerios.... not sure what else. And I do not recall how she stuck them together. Frosting maybe? I do know we combined all food not used in a big bowl and sent it to the class for snack. Made an interesting trail mix the kids loved.

Have fun.
