Is this not a cool looking dessert? Who doesn't love jello? It's just plain fun :) It jiggles. It's colorful. It's yummy. It's healthy. Sounds like a winner to me! This jello recipe is one of my very favorites from my mom. I always remember her making it for Easter dinner. The colors remind me of spring and it brings back some funny memories. One year when I was about 12 my cousin Amy and I snagged two big helpings each of this dessert along with ziploc bags... and we didn't eat one bite of it. Can you guess what we did? Let's just say we filled our bras out a little better that afternoon. We learned jello does jiggle, but not for long when it melts due to body heat! I wish I wouldn't have wasted it because this dessert's very tasty! When trying to come up with a dessert to take for Easter dinner this year, I didn't have to think very long before I was craving this colorful concoction. Luckily my mom was able to dig up the recipe. It's very simple to make, but time consuming because you have to let the jello firm up before doing the next layer. I highly recommend this light dessert (for eating but not for bust enhancement)! Enjoy :)
