Red, White, & Blue Jell-O Cups

Recipe Found HERE

Great to make ahead. I got about 20 servings in 5 ounce cups.

(1) 6 ounce package of Strawberry Jell-O (or other red flavor) 

(2) 3 ounce packages of Berry Blue Jell-O 

(1) 8 ounce container of Cool Whip 

Maraschino cherries (with stems) 

Clear plastic cups 

Make the Berry Blue Jell-O according to the package instructions. Fill your cups 1/3 full with the Berry Blue Jell-O (I used about 1/3 cup for my cups). Place in fridge for 1 hour (or 10 minutes in the freezer if you're in a hurry). 

Fill cups another 1/3 full with Cool Whip, smoothing out the top. I used about 2 Tablespoons for my cups. Place in freezer. 

Make Strawberry Jell-O immediately. Let cool in fridge for 20 minutes. You don't want the Jell-O to solidify at all, you just need it to cool down so you can pour it on top of your Cool Whip without melting it. 

Remove cups from freezer and Jell-O from fridge. Fill the remainder of your cup with red Jell-O (leave a little bit of room at the top). Refrigerate for another 20 minutes or just until Jell-O starts to set slightly. 

OPTIONAL: Push one maraschino cherry with stem into the red Jell-O, leaving the stem stick out like a little firework. 

Refrigerate for another 30 minutes, or until Jell-O is firm. Enjoy!
