Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (3 oz / 85 g) box black cherry Jello
- 1 (3 oz / 85 g) box lime Jello
- 1 (3 oz / 85 g) box grape Jello
- 3 cups (720 ml) boiling water, divided
- 3 cups (720 ml) cold water, divided
- Whipped topping or whipped cream, for garnish
- Halloween sprinkles, candy eyes, or gummy worms, for decoration
- Optional: Black food coloring
- Optional: Sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Arrange 18–20 mini 2-ounce cups on a tray.
- In a bowl, dissolve grape Jello in 1 cup boiling water. Stir for 2 minutes. Add 1 cup cold water. Pour into cups, filling about one-third. Chill for 45–60 minutes until set.
- In a clean bowl, dissolve lime Jello in 1 cup boiling water. Stir until dissolved, then add 1 cup cold water. Let cool slightly. Gently pour over the purple layer. Chill for 45–60 minutes.
- Prepare black cherry Jello as directed. For a darker hue, add a drop of black food coloring. Pour over the green layer. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until fully set.
- Just before serving, top each Jello cup with whipped cream, candy eyes, or sprinkles.
- Keep chilled until ready to serve.
Notes
- Let each layer fully set before adding the next for clean separation.
- Pour slowly to avoid mixing layers.
- Use a squeeze bottle or small measuring cup for precise pouring.
- For a “slime effect,” drizzle green icing or syrup over the top.
- Make ahead up to 2 days and store covered in the fridge.
