Prepare jello in a large saucepan as advised on box.

Let cool briefly and place into plastic punch cups. Fill each cup almost to the top, as shown.

Place cups in the refrigerator and let jello set for several hours until firm. (I let mine set over night.)

Pull one “string” off your Twizzler and cut in half.

Push on end through the end of your Swedish Fish. I pushed mine through with a fork.

Wrap the other end of the Twizzler around the end of a pretzel, as shown.

Push the end of the pretzel through the jello at the side of the cup, as shown.

On the opposite side of your jello cup, create waves with your whip cream, and place one Swedish Fish in the middle.
