I made Jello poke cupcakes for my sons bday party. They were a big hit! Super messy pouring the jello on to them, though. But I had lined my platter with paper towels and I just threw away the jello soaked toys, and still had a beautiful presentation!

Your stripped dessert sounds yummy. Of course, any thing with chocolate sounds good to me. :)
