Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Blue raspberry gelatin mix
- 1 packet Unflavored gelatin
- 4 cups Boiling water
- 3 cups Cold water
- 10 pieces Gummy fish candies
- 1 cup Candy rocks or crushed graham crackers (for gravel effect)
- 1 Fishbowl or clear glass bowl
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blue raspberry gelatin mix and the unflavored gelatin packet.
Pour 4 cups of boiling water over the gelatin mixture and stir until completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
Add 3 cups of cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir well.
Let the gelatin mixture cool to room temperature, about 15-20 minutes.
In the fishbowl or clear glass bowl, spread the candy rocks or crushed graham crackers evenly across the bottom to simulate gravel.
Carefully pour the cooled gelatin mixture into the bowl, leaving a bit of room at the top to prevent spillage.
Refrigerate the bowl for about 1 hour or until the gelatin is partially set (firm enough to hold the gummy fish in place but not fully solidified).
Gently press the gummy fish candies into the partially set gelatin, arranging them so they appear to be 'swimming.' You can position them at different angles for a natural look.
Return the fishbowl to the refrigerator and chill for an additional 2-3 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set.
Once set, serve your Fish Bowl Jello with a large spoon, allowing everyone to admire the fun and whimsical display before digging in!
