this was beautiful! It was very time consuming though. Everyone thought it looked so pretty. I used purple, blue, green, and red jello. The taste is pretty good but not excellent. Deffinately a sight to see though!

My sister-in-law doesn't cook. So her husband requested this dessert as a childhood holiday favorite. He loved it. I personally think that it is very time consuming and not that great. I would have rather just topped some Jello with some Cool Whip and cinnamon. I will be trying some of the other Jello recipes on this site too. I will give 5 stars just because of HIS reaction. :-(

This recipe always gets raves. Not only for kids (who love it), but even adults rave about this one. Only make this if you can dedicate a whole day (preferably the day before you need it) to preparation. Also let it get nearly completely set before adding layers. You don't want the layers to slide off each other, but you don't want to mix them either.

This is a family favorite. It is time consuming, but it is worth it. I think that it is actually better the next day, after it has completely set. It is a beautiful dish and always is raved about!!!

I've been making this recipe for the past 20 years; it's been around a long time!! It is quite labor intensive, but with some planning is definitely worth it. One trick is to make your flavored Jello as soon as you put the previous white layer into the frig to set. In fact sometimes I mix up each of the flavored Jellos and just leave them on the counter until ready to use. If the flavored Jello is slightly cooled before pouring, it will set more quickly. I allow each layer to set about 30 minutes. Pour each layer very carefully (I sometimes spoon it over)to avoid mixing with the previous layer. I can usually only use 1 1/2 cups white mixture for each layer to have enough for the last white layer. Use any colors/flavors of Jello you like, depending on the occasion. At Christmas we use red and green, for July 4th we use red and blue.

VERY beautiful and wonderful for luncheons. A friend of mine made it 2 days ahead of time because it does take a LONG time to set each layer.

I made this recipe for a potluck and everyone commented on how good it was and how nice it looked. I agree that it takes a little longer to make it, but it is such a fun recipe to make and kids absolutely LOVE it.

While this will probably be tasty, it was definitely not worth the hassle. The prep time says 1/2 an hour, but with having to chill each layer before adding the next, it took me most of the day to complete. The directions say the layer should be "set but not firm". I found it much easier to have the layer firm; otherwise, there were holes made, which made me mad because the reason I wanted to make this is because it looked neat. Only make this recipe if you have lots of time and patience.
