Edible Aquarium

Baltimore Area Council

Make an edible aquarium in a cup. This is a great party treat you can make with your child.

You will need:

Blue Jell-O                                            Gummy fish

Graham crackers                               clear plastic cups

ü     Crush graham crackers into crumbs for the aquarium “gravel.” 

ü     Put about ½ inch of crumbs into the bottom of each clear plastic cup. 

ü     Make blue Jell-O according to the directions on the box.

ü     Pour into clear plastic cups. Let them cool in the refrigerator until partially set - about an hour.

ü     When they’re partially set, place a few gummy fish in each cup.

ü     Put them in the refrigerator until they’re completely set. Eat and enjoy!

Variations include:

ü     Frozen fish-Popsicles (just freeze the Jell-O in Popsicle molds - add the gummy fish when they are partially set - unmold very gently when entirely frozen). These are really messy to eat and are best eaten outside.

ü     An entire punch bowl of fish Jell-O (made like the cup o’ fish)!
