Categories Gelatin

Time 6h

Yield 1 fish bowl

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 envelopes gelatin (I use knox)
blue curacao (amount depends on how much you want to put in!!!)
purple endive or fennel, leaves (and other edible things that will look good as foliage in a tank!)
gummy fish
1 package jelly beans
uncooked spaghetti (for placing items in jello)

Steps:

Mix gelatin according to package directions, substituting curacao for water in the ratio that you wish.
Place the jelly beans in the bowl.
When gelatin is cool, BUT NOT SET, pour it slowly into the Fish bowl.
Be careful not to move the candies around, because the coloring may run.
Allow to cool for just a little while (you dont want stiff gelatin when trying to place fish and foliage in bowl).
When gelatin is just starting to set (ie: its not watery... set just enough to hold something in place) add your"foliage" and fishies, placing them where you want them with strands of spaghetti (helpful when moving things around.. so your gelatin isnt destroyed hehe).
Refrigerate your fish bowl until you wish to serve it.
We had a few of these at a beach party and people loved them!
You can also make this with colored gelatin, minus the curacao for kids.
Without the alcohol-- it is a HIT with the kids be careful though.
they like to"dive" in to get the candy hahaha!

Categories Candy

Time 20m

Yield 12 pieces, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (6 ounce) package fruit flavored gelatin (cherry or fruit punch is probably closest to the original flavor)
7 (1/4 ounce) packages unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
candy molds

Steps:

Combine the dry ingredients. Stir the flavored and unflavored gelatin in a saucepan until well incorporated.
Add 1/2 cup cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon or spatula. The gelatin should clump up into a large, messy ball.
Move the saucepan to the stove set heat to medium or medium-low heat. Stir the mixture until it has melted back into liquid form. Be sure to constantly stir the mixture so that it does not burn.
As soon as the mixture has completely liquefied, remove it from the heat. Using a small spoon, scoop the mixture into the molds, gently tapping the mold each time on the counter top to get the mixture to into each crack of the fish mold.
Put the filled mold into the freezer for about 15 minutes. This will freeze the mixture enough for you to easily remove the fish from their molds.
Remove the Swedish fish and enjoy. Take the fish mold out of the freezer and remove the fish before they have had a chance to thaw. If you wait too long, the fish will be harder to remove. Let the fish sit at room temperature for a little while to defrost, and then enjoy.

Yield Fills a 2 1/2-quart fish or glass bowl

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 two-liter bottle lemon-lime soda, flat
4 1/4-ounce packages unflavored gelatin
2 drops blue food coloring
2 ounces gummy fish

Steps:

Place 1 cup soda in a large bowl. Sprinkle gelatin evenly over soda, and let stand to soften, about 5 minutes.
Place 2 cups soda in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat until just before a boil. Add the softened gelatin, stirring to dissolve the gelatin completely over the heat, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the remaining soda and food coloring, and stir to combine. Pour the liquid into the fish bowl. Using a damp paper towel, carefully remove any bubbles that have formed on the surface. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill overnight.
When ready to serve, use a sharp knife to make vertical slits in the gelatin; insert the fish in a random pattern to make it look as though they are swimming in the bowl. Keep refrigerated until serving. Serve within 6 hours.
