Fish Bowls

[Shawn]

Make an edible aquarium in a cup. This is a great party treat you can make with your child.

blue jello
gummy fish
clear plastic cups.

Make blue jello according to the directions on the box. Pour into clear plastic cups. Let them cool in the refrigerator until partially set - about an hour. When they're partially set, place a few gummy fish in each cup. Put them in the refrigerator until they're completely set. Eat and enjoy!

Frozen fish-Popsicle's: (just freeze the jello in popsicle molds - add the gummy fish when they are partially set - unmold very gently when entirely frozen)

An entire punch bowl of fish jello (made like the cup o' fish)!

Jell-O Aquarium

1 (1 1/2 gallon) glass goldfish bowl
2 (6 oz.) boxes Berry Blue Jell-O
1 (11 oz.) can fruit ****tail
2 gummy or plastic fish
1 plastic aquarium plant (optional)

Make the Jell-O gelatin according to directions
on the box. Pour into
goldfish bowl. Drain the fruit ****tail and
slowly pour it into the goldfish
bowl.
It will sink to the bottom to act as the
"gravel." Place Jell-O gelatin in
the refrigerator to thicken, for about an hour.
(Don't let it set
completely.)

Remove from the refrigerator and place the gummy
(or plastic) fish in the
Jell-O gelatin, using a chopstick, knife or the
back of a spoon to push the
fish
toward the bottom of the goldfish bowl. Return
the Jell-O gelatin to the
refrigerator to set completely.

When the Jell-O
gelatin has set and is ready
to
serve, use a spoon to scoop it and the fish out.
If you are using plastic
fish, be sure to set them aside. Makes 6 to 8
servings.
Cook's note: This recipe also can be made in
small individual goldfish
bowls, so that guests can take them home as party
favors. To make the
"water" a lighter
shade of blue, replace the second box of Berry
Blue Jell-O with four 7-gram
packets of unflavored gelatin.
