What You Need

cups boiling water

pkg. (4-serving size each) JELL-O Gelatin, any flavor

tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping (still frozen)

NILLA Wafers, divided

1/3

cup BAKER'S ANGEL FLAKE Coconut

Few drops green food coloring

Make It

STIR boiling water into gelatin in large bowl until completely dissolved. Gradually add frozen whipped topping, stirring with wire whisk until whipped topping is completely melted and mixture is well blended.

POUR into 9x5-inch loaf dish. Refrigerate 2 hours or until set.

PLACE 24 of the wafers in resealable plastic bag; use a rolling pin to roll over the bag to finely crush the wafers. Add coconut and food coloring; seal bag and shake gently until crumbs are evenly tinted. Sprinkle evenly over gelatin. Arrange remaining 14 wafers around edges to resemble a window flower box.

This is very good and pretty, I used the cookies as shown and also the marshmallow snails. However the cookies do not stand up very well by themselves. I had to lean them back a little and then but snails in between. I had to travel with so I assembled flowers and snails when I go there, the kids loved it.

Sooooo cute. Jello was really good. I made it in a flower pot instead of a pan. Adorable

ugh, i dunno if i did something wrong somewhere, but the consistency was VERY runny. i used cherry jell-o, and the whole thing looked like an autopsy! on the bright side, it tasted OK, the flowers wery beautiful, and for some reason, my family loved it.

This recipe is so EASY! I used different colors (in smaller bags) to create more flowers and it came out SO PRETTY! Great for spring......Try rainbow wafers to match a specific color theme.
