Yield: 6 Servings
| Measure | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 packs | Cherry-flavored gelatin; (4 servings each) |
| 1⅔ cup | Boiling water |
| 2 cups | Cola; * see note |
| 1 cup | Chopped walnuts |
| 1 cup | Chopped maraschino cherries |
| ⅓ cup | Frozen whipped topping; thawed |
| 3 \N | Plastic drinking straws; each cut in half |
In a large bowl, dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water. Stir in the cola and chill for about 45 minutes. Stir in the chopped walnuts and cherries. Divide the mixture among 6 to 8 parfait glasses; cover and chill for 2 to 3 hours, or until set. When ready to serve, top each with a dollop of whipped topping. Serve garnished with the straws (just for fun). These look pretty seved in old fashioned ice cream soda glasses.
Note* For even more cherry flavor, use cherry cola in place of regular cola. You can also use either diet or caffeine free soda too.
