Equipment

  • 1 Pot
  • 10 Plastic cups (2.5 oz) shallow
  • 10 Mini forks

Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz Jello Berry Blue flavor
  • 3 cups Water divided (1.5 cups boiling and 1.5 cups cold)
  • ⅓ cups Nerds Candy

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 4 hours.
  • Once the Jello has set, remove from the refrigerator and place the edible mermaid tails and mini forks (representing Dinglehopper from Disney’s The Little Mermaid) into the jello.
  • Enjoy or place on a charcuterie board for a Little Mermaid themed party.

Notes

Optional: Place some extra nerds on top of the jello after it has set to add a little more color.
**Do not rush the Jello when it is setting or you may wind up with Jello that is lumpy and not set properly.
