These Rainbow Jello Cups are a must for St. Patrick’s Day!
Holidays are a big deal around our house with the kiddos. My mom makes her famous Layered Jello for Christmas, but I thought it would be perfect to make for St. Patrick’s Day.
We made it a little more festive by adding some whipped cream and white pearl sprinkles on top to make it look like a cloud on top of a rainbow.
