Ingredients
For the “Water”
- 2 (3 oz) boxes blue raspberry or berry blue gelatin
- 4 cups boiling water
- 2 cups cold water
For the Decorations
- 1 package gummy fish candies
- 1 package gummy worms (optional)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers or graham crackers (for “sand”)
- Colorful candy-coated chocolates or gummy pebbles
Instructions
1. Dissolve the Gelatin
Whisk the blue gelatin into the boiling water until completely dissolved.
2. Add Cold Water
Stir in the cold water and mix well.
3. Fill the Bowl
Pour the gelatin mixture into a clear glass trifle bowl or fish bowl-shaped serving dish.
4. Chill Until Set
Refrigerate for 4–6 hours, or until the gelatin is completely firm.
5. Create the Sand
Sprinkle the crushed vanilla wafers or graham crackers around one edge of the bowl to resemble a sandy ocean floor.
6. Add the Decorations
Arrange gummy fish, gummy worms, and candy pebbles throughout the bowl. For a floating effect, gently press some gummy fish into the gelatin at different depths.
7. Add Bubbles and Foam
Top with dollops of whipped topping and mini marshmallows to create ocean bubbles and waves.
8. Serve and Enjoy
Scoop into bowls, making sure each serving gets plenty of “fish,” sand, and ocean decorations.
