Ingredients

1 small box Jell-O™ orange
1 small box Jell-O™ green
1 large box Jell-O™ blue
2 cans (14-ounce) sweetened condensed milk
6 packets unflavored gelatin, divided use
3 cups flavored vodka, divided use
60 dollops whipped cream
60 orange & green Skittles™

Instructions

Step
1

Lightly coat a square dish with cooking spray, and then using a paper towel, wipe out the dish. It will leave a light residue to help unmold your shots, but it won't affect the taste.
Step
2

For the orange layer, sprinkle half of a packet of gelatin over 1/4 cup of water. Allow it to soak in a minute or two. Add one box of the orange or peach gelatin, along with 1 cup boiling water. Stir until everything has dissolved. Add 3/4 cup of vodka. Repeat the same process to make the green layer.
Step
3

To make the blue layer, start with 1/2 cup water and sprinkle a full packet of unflavored gelatin on top. Add the box of blue gelatin dessert, 2 cups of boiling water, and then once everything is dissolved, add 1 1/2 cups of vodka.
Step
4

To make the white layer, sprinkle two packets of gelatin over 1/2 cup of water. Allow it to soak in a minute or two. Pour in 1 cup of boiling water and one 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk. Stir until everything is thoroughly mixed and gelatin is dissolved. You'll have approximately 3 cups of liquid. Allow to cool to room temperature. If, during the process, it starts to gel and thicken, pop it in the microwave for a few seconds and stir. (You will need to make a second batch of the white layer for the second half of the shots, but don't make it until closer to when you need it).
Step
5

Pour some of the orange mixture into the prepared pan and green into the second pan. Place pans in refrigerator to set, about 20 minutes or so. Once set, add the same amount of the white mixture to the top . Pop any air bubbles and return to fridge to set for about 20 minutes. Repeat with the blue mixture and continue repeating until the pans are full or you're out of gelatin.
Step
6

For the first pan, you'll go in this order: Orange,White,Blue,White,Orange,White,Blue.
Step
7

For the second pan, you'll go in this order: Green,White,Blue,White,Green,White,Blue.
Step
8

When you're ready to serve, gently pull the edges away from the pan, and invert onto a cutting board. Slice into even squares. (Alternately, you can just cut in the pan itself, but it might be harder to remove the first few squares). Place on serving platter and top with whipped cream, using a piping bag or can. Top with color-coordinated candies.
