Mardi Gras is a week long celebration, in New Orleans, that culminates on Fat Tuesday! It is known as “The Greatest FREE Show On Earth” and is definitely a spectacle to behold! However, if you can make it down to New Orleans, at least you can celebrate with a Mardi Gras recipe, like my Fat Tuesday Jello Cups!

Mardi Gras Recipe: Fat Tuesday Jello Cups

Normally, you hear about people eating King Cake and “finding the baby” on Fat Tuesday, but I decided to change it up a little bit. This Mardi Gras recipe is completely kid-friendly! (But, I won't judge you if you turn it into an adult only layered dessert. *wink wink*)

Making the Fat Tuesday Jello Cups:

You'll need:

• Lime, Grape and Lemon Jello. (You can substitute sugar-free as well)
• 6 clear, plastic cups.
• Whipped Cream
• Colored Sprinkles or Candies. (I used Sprees, but you could use skittles)

Layering this Mardi Gras recipe:

Prepare the Grape Jello according to the instructions on the package, pour it into the 6 cups equally and then, chill in the fridge for 2 hours.

Prepare the Lemon Jello according to the instructions on the package, pour it into the 6 cups equally and then, chill in the fridge for 2 hours.
