Supplies:
Baby food jars
Red, blue, and white spray paint
Red and blue jello
Strawberries and blueberries
Twine
Miniature flags
Whipped topping
Two boxes of jello will make 12 jars. We started with the blue jello. Follow the instructions on the jello box and fill the baby jars 1/3 full. I dropped a few blueberries in each jar. Let chill for 4-5 hours.
After, the blue jello set, we added sliced strawberries in each jar. Follow the directions to make red jello and pour equivalent portion in jars. Note: Jars should now be 2/3 full. Chill for 4-5 hours.
In the meantime, we spray painted the baby food jar lids with red, white, and blue.
Top each jar with whipped topping (Cool Whip). Another fun option would be mini marshmallows.
We tied a piece of twine around each lid and slid a decorative flag through the twine.
These little desserts would be perfect for kids or even adults at a 4th of July party. Enjoy!!

ReplyDeleteI am probably a weirdo for asking, but when you say that two boxes fill 12 jars, do you mean one each of red and blue or two each of red and blue jello? DERP. I just want to make sure I have enough jars. Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteI made them last year...but I am pretty sure I only used one red and one blue jello and still had plenty left!
