2 C. Light or Rock-Colored Jelly Beans; 1 Package (6 oz.) Blue Gelatin; 1 C. Boiling Water; 1 C. Cold Concentrated Grape Juice; 1 C. Ice Cubes; Gummy Fish; Fresh Parsley Sprigs or Celery Leaves; Canned Whip Cream
Place jelly beans in a 9-inch glass pie plate. Tilt plate until beans mount on 1 side, like a "shoreline."
Pour gelatin into medium bowl and add boiling water. Stir for 2 minutes to dissolve completely. Add grape juice and ice cubes. Stir until ice cubes have melted. Pour slowly into empty side of pie plate, holding back jelly beans with a spoon.
Refrigerate briefly until gelatin just begins to set. When gelatin has partially set, use a skewer to place gummy fish and parsley sprigs as seaweed. Create a foamy shoreline with whipped cream by spraying onto edge of gelatin where it meets the jelly bean shore.
To make the swamp look old and icky, use green gelatin and add circle candies for tires, wilted lettuce greens at bottom, and float fish on top of water.
Makes 6-8 Servings
