Candy Cane Jello Dessert Minis

by trisha haas

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!

COOL WHIP, raspberry JELL-O and crushed candy canes make these Candy Cane Dessert Minis an ideal holiday treat. And while it’s a beautiful color and layering for the fall, this is also a totally great recipe that works well for the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday too. Just use the same recipe and top with chocolate hearts instead!

  • 1-1/2 cups boiling water
  • 1 pkg. (85 g) Jell-O Raspberry Jelly Powder
