Beach Treat Cups

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 Box of Blue Gelatin Mix (3oz box makes 4)
  • Clear, Small Plastic Cups
  • Graham Crackers
  • Gummy Fish
  • Paper Parasols

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Prepare half a batch of the blue gelatin mix per package instructions and fill each plastic cup halfway.  Place in refrigerator until thickened.
  2. Place gummy fish on top of mixture. Prepare the remainder of gelatin mix and fill each cup to the desired level. Place back in refrigerator to thicken.
  3. Finely grind graham crackers and spread partially on top of each gelatin cup to represent a sandy beach.
  4. Top each cup with a paper parasol.

Optional:  Keeping the age of children you are serving in mind, you can use Lifesaver candy with a gummy bear inside floating in the water, peppermint balls to represent a beach ball, or a stick of gum folded for a beach chair.
