Valentines Day Parfait
Use parfait glasses, the size glass you would like to use. Make a batch of raspberry, cherry or strawberry Jello. Make as the directions say on the package. Chill till set.
Take a couple spoons of Jello, then a couple spoons of cool whip, and keep layering until the parfait glass, or the glass of your choice is filled, top off with a candy heart.
Now if you would like you can take and add a little bit of the powdered Jello to the cool whip, it will color your cool whip, as well as give it flavor.

Coloring Frosting
Add a little powdered Jello a little at a time, until you get your desired color. My Mom use to do this for all Holidays. It gives a nice refreshing taste to your frosting.

Sounds yummy. :) I love strawberries and cream.
Yummmmmm ... waffles and strawberries!
Sounds good. I use Jello for color and flavor. I've found that putting Jello in jelly gives it a lot stronger flavor, expecially with the new flavors like blackberry. I recently made some blackberry jelly from berries I had been given from somebody's freezer. I was afraid they might taste old, so add some blackberry Jello, and it was to die for. Maraschino cherry juice is good for adding just a little color, too.
Great idea coloring the cool whip with the jello! Sounds delicious!
