Rainbow Jell-O Recipe
on Feb 20, 2014, Updated Jan 01, 2024
This Rainbow Jell-O Recipe was my kiddos favorite treat I have made for them. They were so excited to get their little paws on them. There is something about Jell-O that always gets them. But when they seen the Rainbow Jell-O bars they were so full of laughter,, it was priceless. My hubby is not much of a Jell-O fan and he was tossing these down like he does his favorite potato chips, ha ha! This Rainbow-Jell-O Bars recipe is for sure a keeper. I think this is my new treat that I will make when I have upset the household with my moodiness, ha ha.
Rainbow Jell-O Bars
When shopping last week I was looking for a fun rainbow type idea for St Patty’s Day (the kiddos love leprechauns and rainbows). I just so happened to be in the Jell-O aisle at Remke and there were so many bright colors and flavors to choose from (even Jolly Rancher flavors). They were begging to have a treat made with them ha ha! So making these Rainbow Jell-O bars was just what I needed to whip up.

These were so simple but timing consuming. These took me most of the afternoon. Luckily they were done before the kiddos arrived. Do not let the time issue scare you off. Everyone, kiddos and adults will LOVE these. They are so bright and colorful.
