Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 two-liter bottle lemon-lime soda, flat
- 4 1/4-ounce packages unflavored gelatin
- 2 drops blue food coloring
- 2 ounces gummy fish
Directions
Place 1 cup soda in a large bowl. Sprinkle gelatin evenly over soda, and let stand to soften, about 5 minutes.
Place 2 cups soda in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat until just before a boil. Add the softened gelatin, stirring to dissolve the gelatin completely over the heat, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the remaining soda and food coloring, and stir to combine. Pour the liquid into the fish bowl. Using a damp paper towel, carefully remove any bubbles that have formed on the surface. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill overnight.
When ready to serve, use a sharp knife to make vertical slits in the gelatin; insert the fish in a random pattern to make it look as though they are swimming in the bowl. Keep refrigerated until serving. Serve within 6 hours.

Why on earth would you put the fish in once the jello is set? That seems like a disaster waiting to happen. The fish should be put in before the jello sets. They should be put in after the jello has been sitting a while so they don't immediately sink to the bottom.

I tried it this way with the soda and Swedish fish and the kids hated it! So, I gave it a few "tweeks" I used half a pack of blue jello and 2 packs of unflavored gelatin with sprite. I waited until the jello cooled to room temp in the bowl, then added Nerds candy (they sank pretty well), After it had set up halfway, I put in the gummy fish (I found them at a local gas station, they were sour). I put it back in fridge and let it finish setting up, and Presto! The kiddos Loved it!!

I made this recipe over the weekend for my grandchildren and on their first bite they spit it out. The seven up gelatin had no flavor and making it was not easy either. When you cut into it, you have to dip the knife in hot water first or it just tears up the jello. But don't even waste your time. Use the recipe with blue jello. I am trying that one next.

Also does anyone know if I can add nerds to the bottom so it looks more like a fish tank. I'm worried the colors will dissolve??

Like layner said, we all tried blue powder and it just turns out terrible. I'm mixing Martha's method with the mini individual ones from cofessionsofacookbookqueen.com. I'm making them in little Ball jars and adding Nerds to the top like pebbles just before serving. I'll put the lid on and display upside down! The kids are going to love them!

I made this for an "under the sea" themed kids birthday party, and it was a huge hit! made two batches to fill my pampered chef trifle bowl and had some left over. I added 2 tbsp sugar to the saucepan and dissolved over heat to sweeten it just a little. The taste is light and refreshing-- not syrupy sweet. Also, to flatten the soda faster, pour it in a bowl and whisk until it stops fizzing- takes less than 5 min. Served in clear cups with whipped cream on top and a gummy fish to garnish. cute!

Because of layner's review I almost didn't try this. But I'm glad I did! Turned out great! The coloring was on point, it looked like natural water. The only mistake I made was putting the fish in too early. It HAD fully set, but the fish were put in so early that by the time I served it they absorbed the liquid & looked gushy. BTW blue jello is a terrible idea. Tried that first & failed. Martha had it right. Tip: Get the fish wet before sliding them in the slits so they don't pull on the jello.
