Notes: Use a cleaned 1-quart milk or orange juice carton to hold straws Ingredients:
1 (6 ounce) package raspberry gelatin powder or 1 (6 ounce) package grape flavor gelatin |
3 (1/4 ounce) envelopes unflavored gelatin |
3 cups boiling water |
100 flexible plastic straws |
1 tall slender 4 cup container (same height as extended straws) |
3/4 cup whipping cream |
12 -15 drops green food coloring |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine gelatins.
