2.5 ounce Jello Cups
Mini Forks
Ingredients
Blue Raspberry jell-o packet
3cupswater1 ½ cup boiling, 1 ½ cup cold
⅓cupnerds
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
