Aquarium Jello for Halloween
Use the new Berry Blue jello, and pour it into individual cups or
a fish bowl.  Before the jello is all the way set, add gummy fish,
sharks, life savers, shells, etc., and make an Alcoholic Aquarium.
I did this over Memorial day weekend.  I was fortunate enough to
find a candy shoppe that carried all kinds of gummy goodies: fish,
sharks, shells, worms, and Coke bottles.  I used 9 oz. clear plastic
glasses, and made each of them different.  One was even a 'toxic'
aquarium with lots of coke bottles, gummy Life Savers posing as
old tires, and all the fish floating on top!  (Mix with orange
jello to get a toxic green color if you do this).
8-serving box Berry Blue Jello
4 packets Knox unflavored gelatin
5 cups boiling water
2 cups alcohol or water
