Rainbow Jello

This is a very easy dessert but it will take all day to make. You won't be in the kitchen all day but you will be in and out throughout the day after a layer sets. This is a tradition for Christmas day, but I know Heidi does it for St. Patrick's day. It is one of my kids very favorite things. They LOVE seeing all the colors.

Rainbow Jello
6 3oz boxes of different flavors of Jello to make the rainbow (strawberry or cherry, orange, lemon, ect.)
Sour Cream

For each box of Jello do the following:
Dissolve 1 c. boiling water and divide in half. Slowly whisk in 1/3 c. of sour cream in one. Stir until smooth. Pour layer in pan. Refrigerate (or freeze if you want it to go faster). After the sour cream layer sets, pour the clear layer over. I usually wait 15-20 minutes in between layers so that the clear layer sitting out on the counter waiting to be poured will not set.
Pretty simple but super fun to eat!
P.S. The first layer will take the longest.

This will be my new traditional St Patricks day dessert. Like Brittany said, the kids love it! I'll probably make three layers today and three tomorrow so it doesn't take so long.
