Jello is a real treat at our house. We just don’t make it very often.  We try to stick to fruit as a dessert. JDaniel really loves jello and thought my nephews who stopped by last week on their way to my mom’s would like it in a fun dessert. JDaniel and I created this read and green layered jello dessert for them together.

How did the red and green layered jello dessert go over?

JDaniel and one of his cousins loved this dessert. The other cousin likes food to be “plain”. In the case  yogurt in his favorite flavor from a particular brand and vanilla pudding served in a separate cup. I tried a cup of it and loved the mixture of flavors and textures.This red and green dessert was so easy! JDaniel did most of the mixing and scooping needed to create the dessert. I just kept him away from the hot water while making the jello.
