    Rainbow Jello Squares

    I know that many people think of Jell-O as some funky remnant from the 1970s, but sometimes I just really like it. It's fun, it's easy and there is one other thing - when I went on a "Jell-O kick" a few years ago and was eating it about 5 times per week, my hair and nails never looked better!

    But kids don't eat Jell-O because they want naturally long nails - they eat it because it is different and fun! Well - let's make it even more fun and more different and let them "taste the rainbow" (yeah - I know that is a slogan for another product, but it just fits!)

    Of course, you can go boring and just make a single-color Jell-O, but why not make it fun? These Rainbow Jell-O squares are sure to get squeals of glee for children and adults alike! Serve them for St. Patrick's Day or any other holiday or party! (and don't forget to try my Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe or my copycat Shamrock Shake recipe!), a fun Summer treat or really any time you want something different.

    You will need:

    Rainbow Jello Squares ingredients

    • 1 box Red Gelatin
    • 1 box Orange Gelatin
    • 1 box Yellow Gelatin
    • 1 box Green Gelatin
    • 1 box Blue Gelatin
    • 1 8 oz container of Cool Whip

    Making it is so stinkin' easy, so scroll down for the complete directions!
