How you make Shark Jell-O Aquariums?
Jell-O comes in 3 oz and 6 oz packages. The 3 oz package will make approximately 4 cups of Jell-O, and a serving is 1/2 cup. This should get approximately 8 servings.
I like to make these with the 9 oz plastic party cups. So, I usually fill them up with about a 2/3 cup or 3/4 cup and leave about 1-2 inches from the very top of the cup.
First, prepare Jell-O according to package (mix with boiling water) and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
Place the Rainbow Nerds at bottom of cup to look like the bottom of the ocean. You’ll want about a 1/2-inch to a 1-inch layer.
Add the Jell-O over the top of the Rainbow Nerds, between 1/2 to 3/4 cup. Leave about 1-2 inches at the top.
Drop a shark or two gently down to the top of the Rainbow Nerds candy.
Refrigerate the Jell-O cups overnight.
When the Jell-O has set, place a few more sharks on top.
Serve and enjoy!
