Personal Notes:
Grandma Juana McKinley made this jello every Easter at her house. After the huge Easter egg hunt, we all went in for Easter dinner. She did a lot of individual cups of this jello for all the grandchildren and a large bowl for the adults to dish out of. Super yummy! It does take time to make this but the final product is so worth it. It screams EASTER!
