St. Patrick's Day Shamrocks

No cupcakes for us today. Instead, we are having green (lime flavored) finger jello cut into shamrocks. Not only does it taste good, it's fun to play with. Finger jello is always a hit with my kids and super easy to make!! They love using different cookie cutters to make different shapes, but today we stuck with the shamrock. My daughter took it to school as a snack and the kids devoured it. Go make some...you know you want to!

Finger Jello
Add 2 1/2 cups boiling water to 2 pkg (6 oz each) gelatin mixes, stir 3 min until completely dissolved. (Do not add cold water.) Pour into 13x9 inch pan. Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm. Dip bottom of pan in warm water about 15 seconds. Cut gelatin into 1 inch squares or use cookie cutters for shapes.
