Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 oz Orange-flavored gelatin mix
- 3 oz Lime-flavored gelatin mix
- 3 oz Black cherry-flavored gelatin mix
- 6 cups Boiling water
- 6 cups Cold water
- 2 cups Whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- as needed Candy eyes or Halloween sprinkles (optional for garnish)
- 8 pieces Clear plastic cups (8 oz)
Instructions
Prepare the orange-flavored gelatin: In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the orange-flavored gelatin mix in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, then add 2 cups of cold water. Mix well.
Fill each clear plastic cup about one-third of the way with the orange gelatin mixture. Place the cups on a tray and refrigerate for 1 hour or until firmly set.
Prepare the lime-flavored gelatin: In a separate bowl, dissolve the lime-flavored gelatin mix in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, then add 2 cups of cold water. Mix well.
Once the orange layer is set, pour the lime-flavored gelatin on top, filling the cups another third of the way. Return to the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour, or until set.
Prepare the black cherry-flavored gelatin: In another bowl, dissolve the black cherry-flavored gelatin mix in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, then add 2 cups of cold water. Mix well.
Once the lime layer has set, pour the black cherry gelatin on top, filling each cup nearly to the top. Return to the refrigerator and chill for another hour, or until fully set.
Before serving, top each cup with a dollop of whipped topping to resemble a ghostly cloud. Add candy eyes or Halloween-themed sprinkles for a spooky finish, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Boo-tiful Jello Cups!
