Aquarium Dessert

Having Fun With Gelatin

By , About.com Guide

3 packages blue gelatin
9 ounces red cinnamon candy or small speckled jellybeans
1/2 gallon capacity new fishbowl or large, clean glass bowl
gummi fish
a few small pieces curly lettuce, kale or purple endive, washed and patted dry
gummi bears and gummi life savers

In separate glass bowl, prepare the gelatin according to speed-set directions. Make a gravel layer using the jellybeans or red hots. Slowly pour liquid gelatin into fish bowl. Try not to disturb the "gravel." Place in the refrigerator and chill until slightly thickened. Add aquarium "plants". Use a skewer to place them on the bottom of the tank. Also add gummi fish at this time. For a finishing touch, have bears "floating" on the lifesavers.
