We've all had our fair share of Jell-O, whether it be bowls of it on those blistering hot days during our childhood or one too many Jell-O shots at a Super Bowl Party circa 2015. It's a fan favorite, and never fails to please crowds of all ages.
This recipe takes the classic strawberry flavor and throws some more ingredients in there, making it a kind of Jell-O like you've never seen. Forget the shots, try this sweet strawberry banana Jell-O that's ultra satisfying, even when you don't really have an occasion to celebrate.
