Ingredients
  • 2 3-ounce packages of Berry Blue Jell-o
  • 4 cups hot water
  • 1½ cups cold water
  • 16 short, clear plastic cups
  • 16 Swedish Fish gummy candies
Instructions
  1. In a medium pot, gently boil 4 cups hot water and turn off heat. Immediately add blue gelatin and mix until dissolved. Remove from stove.
  2. Add cold water. Stir.
  3. Let the gelatin mixture cool slightly until warm.
  4. Using a ladle, carefully fill clear plastic cup less than half-full. Place cups on trays (if you're short on space in the fridge and need to stack them as I did) and either allow them to cool to room temperature or refrigerate immediately.
  5. If you allowed the jello to cool to room temperature before refrigerating, check your jello for firmness after 5 to 10 minutes.
  6. Insert Swedish Fish, partially swimming out of the jello, while the jello is slightly solidified, or allow the jello to harden completely, make a small incision in the jello using a sharp knife and then insert the fish.
