Notes

From: The First Year Blog
Depending on how many cups you are making, and how think you want each layer, you may have leftover jello from each layer. Either pour it in a different container to set, or throw it away.
You may also use other flavors of jello (or multiple flavors to create different colored layers) if you'd like.
