Ingredients
1 box berry blue gelatin dessert mix
1 bag gummy ring candies (green or mixed colors)
1 box teddy-shaped graham cookies
1 tub whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
Clear plastic cups (for serving)
Instructions
Prepare the “pool water”:
Make the berry blue gelatin according to the package instructions. Carefully pour the liquid into clear plastic cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Let it partially set:
Place the cups in the refrigerator for about 40–50 minutes, until the gelatin is thickened but still soft enough to hold decorations.
Create the pool scene:
Gently press a few gummy rings into each cup to look like floating pool tubes. Place one teddy graham inside each ring so it appears to be lounging in the “pool.”
Chill until firm:
Return the cups to the refrigerator and let them fully set, about 2–3 hours.
Add the finishing touch:
Before serving, add a dollop of whipped topping on the side or on top to resemble a fluffy pool towel or a splash of foam.
Serving Ideas
Add colorful paper umbrellas or tiny spoons for a party vibe
Sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top for a “sand” effect
