Red, White & Blue Jello Cups

by Karen Mendes | 4th of July, Dessert Recipes, Recipes | 10 Comments

For our 4th of July get togethers I love making these cute Red, White & Blue Jello Cups and they are always a huge hit - with the kids and adults! We made everything ahead of time except for the whipped cream and then we assembled them right before we served them. They were simple and really yummy. You could ultimately use any colors for this but we did the Red and Blue Jello since it was the 4th of July. Don't they look so pretty all together! We were trying to keep it low sugar or really carb free but she couldn't find sugar-free blue jello. I can't remember the last time I had regular jello so when I got to the blue I noticed a big difference in taste but it was really good! ...

This post is Sponsored by Aldi but my opinions are 100% my own! I love shopping at Aldi. Especially when I am entertaining. It seriously cuts my budget almost in half. And they almost always have everything I need. We love to entertain too so when ALDI asked me if I wanted to host a get together at my house this summer and shop at ALDI, I was all for it. My neighbors never shopped at ALDI until I starting having dinner parties and now they love it. This time I picked a summer outdoor theme and we had hotdogs, hamburgers, chips, dips, drinks, and desserts.
