i always enjoy the taste of the combination of Cool Whip & Jell-O. It's very simple to make. I grated the chocolate on the top of the cool-whip because i didn't make a nice drop & looked a bit messy, so i covered them up with grated chocolate ;-) Next time when i make this, i'll change strawberries to rasberries, because i think the tasted of rasberries blend better than strawberries. Yet, it will look "Patriotic" which i always love to display in my desserts ;-)

I couldn't find the blue jello to make this, so I used strawberry instead. When I served it at our Fourth of July cookout, the kids and adults loved them!

I made this recipe for a family barbecue on the 4th of July. It was kind of a day-of event. These turned out perfectly and everyone raved about them. They couldn't have been easier!

I ended up making these but used two different kinds of jello to make them truly red white and blue! Super easy and the kids loved them!

I served this at a party and everyone loved it, especially those watching the calories. I used sugar-free Jello and Fat Free Cool Whip. I also made some with Strawberry Jello and blueberries.

It was really good! I used lime jello (because i couldn't find berry), and used Cool Whip Fat Free whipped cream. I kept the strawberries, though. Everyone loved it!
