Aquarium Jello
Great idea for a simple dessert at kid’s parties!
· goldfish bowl, nice and clean
· red hots or Jelly Belly gravel beans
· blue Jello
· ice cubes
· cold water
· purple endive
· parsley sprigs
· gummy fish
Use a new or well cleaned goldfish bowl. In the bottom, the original recipe called for red-hots as the ‘gravel’, but I plan to use the Jelly Belly beans that look like rocks. Mix up as much blue Jello as your bowl will hold. Mix using ice cubes & cold water instead of the cold water called for on the box. Pour this into the bowl over a knife blade or something to keep from disturbing the gravel. If you want it to have ‘seaweed’, poke a couple of pieces of purple endive or something similar down into the gravel. When the whole thing starts to jell, use a wooden skewer to push gummy fish into different parts of the bowl. If you’re going to be able to supervise the serving, you could even add a plastic diver man, etc.
