Ingredients

  • 1 box Blue Jello
  • 1 box Teddy Grahams
  • 1 pack Lifesaver candies
  • 1 pack beach ball candies (optional)
  • 12 5 ounces clear cups

Instructions

Ahead of time

  1. Follow the jello recipe instructions on the Jello packet and pour in the cups evenly

  2. Set Jello in the fridge

Right before party

  1. Insert the Teddy Grahams in the Lifesaver candies and insert them in your Jello. It's best to use the Teddys with their arms up in the air like they just don't care. They just seem like they're having a blast

  2. Add a beach ball candy placing it gently on top (optional)

Recipe Notes

There are tons of other candies and ideas you could use to decorate your blue Jello cups for a beach party!

  • Add a cocktail umbrella.
  • Crush some of the Teddy Grahams into graham cracker crumbs to simulate sand.
  • Cut up a short piece of Airhead rainbow-striped candy to make a beach towel for your Teddy Graham to lay on.
  • Insert some gummy fish, like Swedish fish, at the bottom of the cups before the cups have set all the way.
  • Place some cute gummy turtles on the top.
  • Insert some gummy sharks ready to come out and bite. (Great option for shark week).
  • Make Jello layers with red jello and cool whip, whipped cream, or white gelatin, as a fun patriotic dessert for the Fourth of July or memorial day.
  • Use cut-up Red Vines as pool noodles.
