Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Combine the Ocean Blue Sonic Jello with the whipped topping. For that perfect oceanic hue, add a few drops of blue food coloring and mix well. (This step is optional – only if you want the ocean to be a darker shade of blue.)
    Transfer this mixture to a rectangle dish, spreading it evenly to create your “ocean.”

  3. Add the Sharks: Place the shark gummy candies in the blue Jell-O mixture. Let them swim freely in the ocean!
  4. Float the Teddy Grahams: Use the peach rings as adorable pool floats. Place a Teddy Graham in each peach ring and let them float on the blue Jell-O ocean.
