  2-5 hrs

ingredients

3 packages (3 ounce size) berry blue gelatin powder
2 cups boiling water
2 1/2 cups cold water
4 tablespoons fish-shaped gummy candies, divided
2 cups cold milk
1 package (3.4 ounce size) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 medium lime
2 cinnamon sticks
2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs
6 whole allspice
1 disposable cup (2 ounce size)
1 round wooden toothpick
fresh blueberries, optional
additional gummy candies, optional

directions

In a bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in cold water. Pour into a 6-cup ring mold coated with nonstick cooking spray. Add 2 tablespoons gummy candies. Chill for 1 hour.

Stir in remaining candies. Chill for 1-2 hours or until set. In a bowl, whisk milk and pudding. Cover and chill until ready to use.

To make palm tree leaves, cut lime in half, then remove and discard pulp. Place lime halves, cut side down, on a cutting board. With a pencil, sketch five leaves from bottom to top on each half. Cut out leaves, leaving center intact. Make little cuts to create a palm leaf appearance.

To create a base for the trees, turn disposable cup upside down; cut two small skis in the bottom. Insert a cinnamon stick in each slit for tree trunks. Break toothpick in half. Insert pointed ends into center of lime halves; insert broken ends into cinnamon sticks.

Unmold gelatin onto a 12-inch serving platter. Place cup in the center of gelatin ring. Spoon vanilla pudding over cup, filling center of ring.

Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs for sand. Place allspice at base of trees for coconuts (discard allspice before serving). Garnish with blueberries and additional gummy fish if desired.
