Weight Watchers Recipes

What a fun way to eat Jello! The kids won’t be the only ones who will love these Jello orange wedges, they’ll be a hit with the whole family!

I’ve tried using other rinds as well but their taste is more bitter, so I think it’s better to stick to the orange flavor. If you make these and take pictures of the final result, please send them this way so we can all see how yours turned out!
