Black Cherry Bavarian

Another Jell-O recipe for you (I’m 99% sure) — This recipe was clipped off of the back of a package and a quick Google search led me to a 1957 Jell-O ad for the same dessert. I’ll share an image of it here. I’m fascinated by how popular Jell-O was. Such a quick and simple “dessert” during an era when there was dessert after every dinner.

Even in the 90’s Jell-O was a marketing powerhouse and I remember that it was a fairly common fun treat at my house. We made Jell-O for one of my birthday parties!

What is it about this gelatinous treat that gets all of us hooked?!
