party rock jelly shots

party rock jelly shots 2 (3 oz.) boxes purple (grape) gelatin and water called for on box 1 1/4 cups water for pink gelatin 4 envelopes plain gelatin 1 3/4 cups vodka (You can use flavored vodka if you want -- cake, cotton candy, vanilla or gummy flavor!) 4 Tbsp sweetened condensed milk bright pink gel food coloring whipped cream, sprinkles, gumdrops, etc. for garnish, if desired Prepare two 9x13" pans by spraying with non-stick baking spray and wiping with a paper towel, leaving only a slight film of the oil. This will help remove gelatin from the pans later. Prepare purple gelatin according to package directions and pour into first prepared pan. Refrigerate uncovered for 90 minutes or until soft-set. Remove from fridge and, using a spoon or fork, "scramble" the gelatin like scrambled eggs. Return pan to fridge for an additional 30 minutes. Meanwhile, pour water into a small saucepan and sprinkle with envelopes of unflavored gelatin. Allow to soak for two minutes. Heat on LOW heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat, and stir in the vodka and sweetened condensed milk. Allow mixture to cool fully on counter. Using a toothpick, add pink food gel color to the mixture one dab at a time, whisking after each addition, until desired color is achieved. Pour into second prepared pan. Make sure the pink mixture is no longer warm before continuing with this step (or the purple gelatin will melt.) Remove scrambled purple gelatin mixture from fridge and, using your fingers, sprinkle the purple over the pink mixture in a mottled pattern. Place pan in fridge for 3 hours. (If overnight, cover loosely with plastic wrap.) When ready to serve, cut into 40 squares and remove with a small spatula to tray or small appetizer plates. Garnish as desired with whipped cream, sprinkles, gumdrops or other candies.
