Layered Jell-O

These are so pretty, and fun to eat too :)

So I know that Jell-O isn't exactly something you bake, but since summer is so soon (or at least it feels like it's so soon) I figured I'd share this since it's a perfect summer dessert :) I made these layered Jell-O bars last summer for the first time, but my mom has been making them for years. They always come out so pretty! & like the fishbowl cupcakes, they're actually pretty easy to make! (they do take a long time to finish though... but it's so worth it!)

Here's the recipe that I used:

You need these ingredients for each layer: 

1 small package Jell-O

1 cup boiling water

1/3 cup Cool Whip

1 packet Knox gelatin

1/3 cup cold water

1. Dissolve the Jell-O in the boiling water.

2. Add the Cool Whip and stir until dissolved.

3. In a separate cup, combine the Knox gelatin with the cold water.

4. Stir the gelatin and cold water mixture into the Jell-O.

5. Pour into a 13x9 pan (or any pan close to that size).

6. Put the pan in the fridge for about 30 minutes to let it set. 

Repeat these directions for each layer of Jell-O you make!

& just continue to pour the Jell-O on top of the previous layer as you make more and more layers :)

You can do as many layers and use as many colors as you want :) I used the colors of the rainbow, but any combination of colors will come out great! No matter what, if you bring these bars with you to a party or just make them for fun, everyone is going to be impressed :) 

& if you like Jell-O, these bars are yummy too!
