Ingredients
Scale
- 3 packages of flavored gelatin (such as lime, green apple, or berry blue)
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- Gummy dinosaurs or gummy worms (available online or at local stores)
- Fresh fruit for decoration (optional, like blueberries or sliced kiwi)
- Clear plastic cups or small glass jars for serving
- Food coloring (optional, for added effect)
Instructions
- Prepare the Gelatin Mixture: In a mixing bowl, dissolve the flavored gelatin packets in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir well until fully dissolved.
- Add Cold Water: Mix in 1 cup of cold water and stir thoroughly. For more vibrant color, add a few drops of food coloring.
- Pour into Cups: Carefully pour the gelatin mixture into your clear plastic cups or jars, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Refrigerate: Place the cups in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- Insert Gummy Dinosaurs: Before the gelatin fully sets, insert gummy dinosaurs or worms to resemble prehistoric DNA. You can do this after the first hour of setting if needed.
- Create the Dinosaur DNA Effect: Once set, garnish with small pieces of fruit or edible glitter for an authentic DNA look.
Notes
- For more vibrant colors, use high-quality gummy candies from trusted sources like Amazon’s gummy dinosaurs selection.
- Insert gummy dinosaurs before fully setting for better integration or after if you want them to stand out more.
- Decorate with fresh fruit or edible glitter to enhance the visual effect of dinosaur DNA strands.
- Use transparent cups to showcase the colorful gelatin and gummy dinos inside.
