Candy Cane Jello Dessert Minis is a striking dessert that looks complicated but instead is as simple as stirring and pouring! The baking season may be coming to a close but it’s not done yet, so before we go from the sweets and treats to the jogging around the block, I have a fantastic recipe that will make you look like the queen of the kitchen. When you first check out these Candy Cane Dessert Minis, they look complicated. With 3 distinct and separate layers topped with delicious cream and crushed canes, it’s almost like being served at a restaurant.
But it’s easy and the work is nonexistent so if you can boil water, you are IN.
Ready, set, GO!
