Darwin Fishbowl Blue Jello Cups
Inspired by Darwin's aquatic adventures, these vibrant blue raspberry jello cups capture the playful spirit of Elmore. With a sandy graham cracker base and a cheerful gummy fish swimming within, each spoonful delivers a refreshing, whimsical escape.
Directions
- 1
In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk together the boiling water and blue raspberry gelatin mix until the gelatin is completely dissolved, which should take about 2 minutes.
- 2
Stir in the 2 cups of cold water, then set aside to cool slightly at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- 3
While the gelatin cools, prepare the graham cracker crust: In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and salt, mixing until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
- 4
Divide the graham cracker mixture evenly among 8 (6-ounce) dessert cups or small glass bowls, pressing it gently into the bottom of each cup to form a compact layer.
- 5
Carefully pour the cooled blue gelatin mixture over the graham cracker crusts, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
- 6
Place one gummy fish candy into each cup, allowing it to "swim" slightly within the liquid gelatin.
- 7
Refrigerate the jello cups for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is completely set and firm to the touch.
- 8
Serve chilled, enjoying the playful layers and vibrant blue hue reminiscent of Darwin's world.
