Jell-O Beach Cups

 Jell-o Beach Cups

I love the summer and I love going to the beach and pool just as much!  This is a great recipe to whip to bring as a dessert to all of those great pool and beach parties you are looking forward to this summer!

What do you need? 

• 3 boxes of blue jell-o (I had a hard time finding blue jell-o and found some Monster’s Inc “Berry Scary”)
• 1 box of Vanilla Pudding
• 1 box of Nilla Wafers
• 1 container of Cool Whip
• Swedish Fish & Teddy Grahams
• 12 Tiki Umbrellas
• 12 9oz Clear Plastic Cups

Directions:

• Make the jell-o according to package directions – 3 cups of boiling water & 3 cups of cold water.
• Pour into the plastic cups and fill until they are about 2/3 full.  Refrigerate.
• When the jell-o is half way set (about 2 hours), add the Swedish fish into the jell-o cups.  Refrigerate another 2 hours.
• Make the vanilla pudding according to package directions.
• Put the Nilla Wafers into a resealable bag and smash them into fine crumbs.
• After the pudding is set, add half of the smashed wafers into the pudding & mix.
• Add 2 tbsp of pudding to the top of the jell-o.
• Add a dollop of cool whip to the top of the pudding.
• Add remaining smashed Nilla Wafers to the top of the cool whip to resemble sand.
• Add some Teddy Grahams to the top to look like they are sunning themselves & playing in the sand.
• Put a Tiki Umbrella over the Teddies.
• Enjoy!
