  • 2.5 ounce Jello Cups
  • Mini Forks

Ingredients

  • Blue Raspberry jell-o packet
  • 3 cups water 1 ½ cup boiling, 1 ½ cup cold
  • cup nerds
  • Edible Mermaid Tails

Instructions

  • In a pot boil 1 ½ cups of water. While that is boiling pour the jello packet into a large mixing bowl.
  • Prepare the jello cups by placing about ½ teaspoon of nerds at the bottom of each plastic cup to act as underwater rocks.
  • Once the water has boiled, pour on top of the jello packet contents. Mix these for a couple minutes until the mix has completely dissolved.
  • Pour the cold water into the hot water jello mixture and stir for another 30 seconds.
  • Pour the liquid into each jello cup, filling about ¾ way full.
  • Place these in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • Once the jello has set, remove from the refrigerator and place the edible mermaid tails and mini forks (dinglehopper from Disney’s The Little Mermaid) into the jello.
  • Enjoy or place on a charcuterie board for a Little Mermaid themed party.

Notes

Place some extra nerds on top of the jello after it has set to add a little more color
