- 1 package (3 oz) of gelatin in assorted flavors (e.g., orange, grape, lime)
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 cups cold water

Instructions
- Prepare the Melons: Cut the tops off the watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew melons. Use a melon baller or spoon to scoop out the flesh, creating hollow cups. Reserve the melon flesh for another use.
- Make the Jello: In a mixing bowl, dissolve each flavor of gelatin in boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved. Add cold water and mix well.
- Layer the Jello: Pour a small amount of the first gelatin mixture into the bottom of each melon cup. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until set. Repeat with the remaining flavors, allowing each layer to set before adding the next.
- Decorate: Once all layers are set, you can add gummy worms or candy eyes on top for a spooky touch.
- Serve: Cut the melons into wedges and serve chilled. Enjoy your Magic Potion Melon Cups at your Halloween gathering!
