    How to make this easy Fourth of July dessert jello:

    1. Boil 1 ¼ cup water. Then mix in 6 oz. of gelatin. Stir well until all the gelatin is dissolved. (This follows the jiggler recipe)

    2. Pour the gelatin into a 9 x 9 dish for thick stars or 9 x 13 pan for thinner stars. Let the Jello set up for a few hours or until firm.

    3. Spread cool whip on top. Then sprinkle! Using a star cookie cutter, cut into stars. Keep cold until ready to eat.

    Tips

    • Check your nearest Target Dollar Spot for some cheap and cute patriotic-colored sprinkles.
    • Make this dessert jello up to 2 days in advance.
