Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup blue gelatin (Jell-O)
- 2 cups boiling water
- Assorted gummy candies (fish, sea creatures)
- Candy rocks or chocolate rocks
- Edible seaweed (green gummy candy or fruit leather)

- Optional: edible glitter
Instructions

Notes
Experiment with different flavored gelatins and candies for a fun twist. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, but it’s best enjoyed fresh.
