Instructions for making candy corn Jello shots with vodka

In a small pan, add 1 cup of water and two of the unflavored gelatin packs
Over low heat, whisk until the gelatin has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and whisk in the sweetened condensed milk. Then add 2/3 cup of vodka and stir well.

Pour half of the mixture into a small microwave-safe bowl, and allow to set until you reach step 8.
The remaining mixture in the pan is your first white layer. Pour into the bottom of the shot glasses, filling about 1/3 of the way up. When done, set them on a tray and place them into the refrigerator until the gelatin has fully set

Once the first layer of gelatin has “set,” add the remaining unflavored gelatin packet and 1 cup of water to a small pan. Slowly whisk over low heat until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from heat, add the orange gelatin packet and whisk again to combine thoroughly.

Add the remaining 1/3 cup vodka and stir well.
Pour the orange gelatin mixture on top of the white layer to make your second layer. Return glasses to the refrigerator and chill until the second layer is set—about 30 minutes.

Once the orange gelatin layer is set, grab the remaining white gelatin that you put into a small bowl in step 3. The gelatin will likely be set, and that is ok; just put the bowl into the microwave for 30 seconds until it’s smooth and liquified again.

Add 2-3 drops of yellow food coloring into the mixture and make the last layer by pouring the yellow mixture on top of the orange layers; fill to the top of each glass.

Place glasses back into the refrigerator until set, about 30 minutes.
Garnish with whipped topping and candy corn if you like. Enjoy!
