Red, White and Blue Finger Jello Stars

Red, White, and Blue Finger Jello Stars are a perfect treat for those American holidays!  If you haven’t noticed by now I have a love for finger jello, jello jigglers or whatever you want to call them so it only made sense to add some red, white, and blue!

Now I’m not going to lie – this calls for sweetened condensed milk which I think sounds so weird to mix with jello, but then my other finger jello recipes call for cream so stay the course!  You won’t be sorry!

Also if you are anything like me you will have to repeat to yourself “I will not let jello make me angry”!  Because in the interest of keeping it real, all your stars will not come out perfect but they will taste just as good!

Kids love helping with this! It’s a great make-ahead project and then have the kids cut out the shapes with cookie cutters. Honestly, the tips of pointy stars are kind of tough so this a perfect place to use a more rounded star. Or honestly, the patriotic part is the red, white, and blue layers so you could simply cut these into squares or use any shape of cookie-cutter!
