Ingredients

• 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 6 ounces Gelatin mix (any flavor)
• 2 cups Boiling water
• 1 cups Cold water
• 2 cups Chopped mixed fruit (strawberries, peaches, pineapple, etc.)
• 1 cups Whipped cream or whipped topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust. Use a spatula or the bottom of a glass to press firmly.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the gelatin mix in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir well until the gelatin is fully dissolved.

Step 6

Add 1 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir to combine.

Step 7

Set the gelatin mixture aside to cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Do not allow it to fully set.

Step 8

Once the gelatin mixture has slightly cooled, gently fold in the chopped mixed fruits.

Step 9

Pour the fruit and gelatin mixture over the cooled crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 10

Refrigerate the dish for at least 4 hours or until the gelatin is completely set.

Step 11

Just before serving, spread a layer of whipped cream or whipped topping over the jello fruit layer.

Step 12

Slice into bars, serve chilled, and enjoy!
