I hosted the cutest Pirate Playdate for some very adorable 6 year olds. This pirate treat … Rough Seas Jello … was a hit! The kids loved the bright blue raspberry jello, marshmallow jello, and Cool Whip®! It was so easy to make the perfect treat for these little pirates! I'm excited to share this fun, easy to make, recipe with you!
