This was just added to my menu for next weekend ❤️

And I LOVE the fact it can be modified to different colors/flavors for different holidays 😁. Enjoy!!!

Jell-O is a great option for backyard barbeques and holiday parties as they are a kid-friendly dessert that looks great on the dessert table. This recipe is simple and is also adaptable for other holidays—just adjust the colors used in the Jell-O layers for a festive Halloween or Christmas treat. No matter which colors you use, this finger Jell-O recipe is sure to be a hit this 4th of July

• MAKES 32 pieces

• ACTIVE TIME 30 min.

• TOTAL TIME 2 hr.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 (6-oz) box Berry Blue Jell-O
• 1 (6-oz) box Strawberry Jell-O
• 4 envelopes Knox unflavored gelatin
• 1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk
• boiling water and cold water

DIRECTIONS

1. Spray a 9x13-inch pyrex pan with nonstick spray.

2. Make the blue layer: In a medium bowl, mix the blue Jell-O with 1 envelope of the unflavored gelatin. Add 2 cups boiling water and stir to dissolve. Cool to room temperature and pour into the prepared pan. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until quite firm.

3. Make the white layer: In another bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk with 1 cup boiling water. In a separate small bowl, sprinkle 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin over ½ cup cold water. Let stand for a few minutes and then add ½ cup boiling water to dissolve the gelatin. Add to the milk mixture and stir to combine. Cool to room temperature. Pour the white layer over the firmed-up blue Jell-O layer. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until quite firm.

4. Make the red layer: In a medium bowl, mix the red Jello with 1 envelope of the unflavored gelatin. Add 2 cups boiling water and stir to dissolve. Cool to room temperature and pour over the firmed-up white layer. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.

5. Slice into individual servings (small enough to hold in your hand), scoop out with a small spatula, and serve. For a more festive look, turn some of them upside-down so you have both red and blue showing on your serving platter.

COOK'S NOTE

*Be sure to let each layer come to room temperature before adding to the pan. Overly warm layers will melt the firmed-up layer, and you don’t want that to happen!

*Experiment with using different colors at other times of year (red and green for Christmas, green and yellow for St Patrick's Day, etc

Made this last weekend - was a BIG HIT 🏆

Easy to make;  looks impressive + festive

Delicious. Young and old enjoyed it. And it is finger food 👍👌

Has anyone tried it with different flavors? Assuming the middle white layer stays consistent and you mix up the top//bottom layers. Next time I'm going to try different flavors

@Chi-town girl .....yes, definitely it will work...make it with red and green jello at Christmas or orange and green at Halloween.  Any variety will work.  I have a similar recipe...very good!
