Jell O Aquarium Recipes

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. If gelatin is still thin, refrigerate until slightly thickened.
• Place berries in 4 clear plastic cups; cover with gelatin. Press fruit snacks into gelatin until completely submerged.
• Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.

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:

• Mix unflavored gelatin and fruit-flavored gelatin in a bowl.
• Bring grape juice to a boil in a saucepan; pour over gelatin mixture and stir until gelatin is dissolved. Immediately add ice cubes and stir until ice is melted. The mixture should be cold, slightly set, but still pourable. If needed, refrigerate mixture to chill, as any heat could melt the rock candy.
• Spread rock candy into the bottom of the fish bowl to cover. Pour enough of the chilled gelatin mixture over the rock candy to cover by about 4 inches.
• 'Plant' the mint sprig into the rock candy bottom. If the mixture is set enough, the mint won't float. It the mint floats, remove it and put the partially filled bowl into the fridge until it's nearly set and can support the mint. Once the mint is planted, carefully pour remaining gelatin mixture into the bowl; refrigerate until more set, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Dip a long sharp knife into hot water and use it make vertical slices in the gelatin. Use skewer or chopstick to position gummy fish into the 'water.' If you're gentle, the gelatin will 'heal' around the insertion after the fish are positioned. If the top of the gelatin is bumpy, dip a spoon into hot water and use the back of it to smooth the surface.
• Refrigerate until fully set, about 30 minutes.
