Rainbow Jello Snacks

 

Jello Rainbow Fingers

1 - 3 oz. package Jello (with sugar) of the following colors:

     Strawberry

     Orange

     Lemon

     Lime

     Blue Raspberry

     Grape or Black Cherry

3 cups boiling water

3 cups plain yogurt (not Greek yogurt)

      -In a large 2 or 4 cup glass measuring cup, empty contents

       of Strawberry Jello mix.  Pour in 1 1/4 cup very hot water.

       Stir until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes.  Pour 1/2 cup 

       of this water into a small mixing bowl and set aside.

      -In a deep rectangular baking dish 10 x 8 inch or 9 x 13 inch,

       pour the 3/4 cup jello mixture into the bottom.  Let chill in

       fridge for 1 hour until very well set.  Meantime, mix 1/4 cup

       plain yogurt with reserved 1/2 cup liquid jello mixture and

       beat with whisk until smooth and yogurt is completely 

       incorporated.  Pour over set jello in pan and rotate so that the

       mixture completely covers the bottom layer. Let chill for 30

       minutes until set.

      -Repeat process above with each of the flavors of Jello listed.  If

       you want to be precise with the order of colors in the 

       rainbow follow the order as listed above.  Remember, Roy G.

       Biv for the order of the colors.  (There is no indigo in this

       recipe - a difficult color to find and create.)  To help with the

       violet layer, add more blue food coloring to create a truer

       violet color.

      -In the end you should have created 12 layers - one clear layer

       of each color, followed by an opaque yogurt layer of each

       color.   Chill until very firm, several hours or overnight.

     -To slice into fingers that people can pick up and eat, cut into

       squares about 3 inches by 3 inches and remove from pan with

       a thin metal spatula.  Set on cutting board and cut into long

       finger or sticks shapes about an inch by an inch, or into any

       shapes desired.  The smaller the pan used to mold jello, the

       taller the fingers will be which will have a harder time

       standing up but can be served laying down. The rainbow effect

       is still so much fun.
