Fish Bowl Jello Recipes

Steps:

• Place 1 cup soda in a large bowl. Sprinkle gelatin evenly over soda, and let stand to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Place 2 cups soda in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat until just before a boil. Add the softened gelatin, stirring to dissolve the gelatin completely over the heat, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the remaining soda and food coloring, and stir to combine. Pour the liquid into the fish bowl. Using a damp paper towel, carefully remove any bubbles that have formed on the surface. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill overnight.
• When ready to serve, use a sharp knife to make vertical slits in the gelatin; insert the fish in a random pattern to make it look as though they are swimming in the bowl. Keep refrigerated until serving. Serve within 6 hours.

Steps:

• Dissolve Jello in boiling water.
• Add ice cubes, stirring until Jello thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
• Remove any unmelted ice.
• Spoon Jello into to clear-sided bowls.
• Poke 3 or 4 gummy fish into each dish of slightly thickened Jello.
• Refrigerate 30 minutes to set.

Steps:

• Add boiling water to gelatin mix in medium bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add enough ice cubes to cold water to measure 1-1/4 cups. Add to gelatin; stir until slightly thickened. Remove any unmelted ice. Refrigerate gelatin 15 to 20 min. or until set but not firm; stir vigorously to create "bubbles."
• Place chopped wafers in 4 clear plastic cups; cover with marshmallows and gelatin.
• Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Top with candies just before serving.

Steps:

• Mix gelatin according to package directions, substituting curacao for water in the ratio that you wish.
• Place the jelly beans in the bowl.
• When gelatin is cool, BUT NOT SET, pour it slowly into the Fish bowl.
• Be careful not to move the candies around, because the coloring may run.
• Allow to cool for just a little while (you dont want stiff gelatin when trying to place fish and foliage in bowl).
• When gelatin is just starting to set (ie: its not watery... set just enough to hold something in place) add your"foliage" and fishies, placing them where you want them with strands of spaghetti (helpful when moving things around.. so your gelatin isnt destroyed hehe).
• Refrigerate your fish bowl until you wish to serve it.
• We had a few of these at a beach party and people loved them!
• You can also make this with colored gelatin, minus the curacao for kids.
• Without the alcohol-- it is a HIT with the kids be careful though.
• they like to"dive" in to get the candy hahaha!
