Orange Dream Layered Squares




Here is a fun recipe that has many flavor options if you are willing to experiment. You can easily change the flavor of this dessert by substituting another flavor of Jell-O gelatin for the orange. Depending on the flavor you may not have to change the orange juice. However, you can try using apple juice, cherry juice, lemonade and other options to complement your gelatin flavor. You can also change the instant pudding flavor to French vanilla, cheesecake, banana or chocolate.
