Every time I make rainbow jello and take it somewhere, kids and adults alike go crazy for it. It’s basically impossible to resist these sweet, fruity, jiggly little cubes of color. I was thinking that these would be fun for St. Patrick’s Day, even though I’ve made them more often for school parties or birthday parties with a rainbow party theme and that sort of occasion. They set up like Jello Jigglers (remember those?!) so they are the perfect finger jello to pick up and pop in your mouth. We make this every year around St. Patrick’s Day, even though it’s not Irish in any way. Some of our other favorite fun St. Patrick’s Day recipes are Lucky Charms Snack Mix and these Fudgy Frosted Chocolate Mint Brownies!
Is making layered Jello hard?
It’s not difficult to make rainbow jello, but it is a little bit time consuming. Each layer needs to set before adding the next, and you need to let the jello cool so hot jello isn’t poured on top of the previous layer, which will cause it to melt and make the layers cloudy. If you look closely in these pictures, you might notice that I rushed the blue and green layers just a little bit too much this time around. They aren’t terrible, but not totally perfect. Either way the jello tastes awesome though.
How to Make Layered Rainbow Jello
When making rainbow jello, remember ROY-G-BIV for the order of rainbow colors – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. Except we are skipping indigo since the only good blue option I know of for jello is the “berry blue” flavor. Also, be sure to watch the video in the recipe card where I walk you through how to make the recipe!
Variations
Customize these rainbow jello jiggler cubes with any flavors or colors you like for other holidays.
Valentine’s Day – alternate layers of watermelon (pink) and cherry, raspberry, or strawberry jello. Fourth of July – alternate layers of berry blue and cherry, raspberry, or strawberry jello. Halloween – alternate layers of orange jello with grape or black cherry jello mixed with black food coloring (affiliate link). Christmas – alternate layers of lime jello with cherry, raspberry, or strawberry jello, and maybe even a layer of pink watermelon jello.
