<\/a>So today I made a 7-Layer Jello dessert for the family.<\/p>\n

I’d never made one before, and really didn’t know much about it. As usual, it was Paul who suggested the recipe<\/a>, and as usual, I fouled it up somehow.<\/p>\n

How was I supposed to know that you’re supposed to make it in a 9 x 13 pan and cut it into squares, like this example Paul found for me<\/a>. Like the bad potato dumplings<\/a>, I blame the recipe which didn’t come right out and say what size container to prepare the dessert. So now I know for next time.<\/p>\n

So why am I calling it the 6.5 Layer Jello dessert? Because the first layer wasn’t ready before I aggressively poured the 2nd layer in. And they mixed. Oops. But I learned from my mistakes (something I pride myself in, by the way!) and the rest of it turned out pretty great.<\/p>\n

I put it in a clear bowl, which the boys enjoyed looking at, and cut it into these silly-looking wedges. Go ahead…laugh! At least my boys enjoyed it and gobbled it up, except the red cherry-flavored Jello. The added Knox gelatin makes this a fine finger-food dessert for parties.<\/p>\n

Maryann: I think I’ll make a pink\/red one for the Valentine’s Day party? Cut into 2″ x 2″ squares?<\/p>\n
