Creepy Peepers Halloween Jell-O

1. Bring 2½ cups water to a boil, pour over green Jell-O and stir 3 minutes until dissolved.
2. Reserve 1 cup of this green Jell-O and set aside. Do NOT refrigerate.
3. Pour remaining Jell-O into a greased 9×13 dish and refrigerate.
4. Bring 1 cup of water to a boil on your stovetop. Stir in sweetened condensed milk; stir to incorporate.
5. In a small bowl with 1 cup of cold water, sprinkle in the Knox unflavored gelatin. Let stand (about 1 minute) to “bloom.” Add ½ cup boiling water. Pour the unflavored gelatin mixture into the milk mixture. Stir to combine.
6. Pour into the jelly bean mold and refrigerate.

At this point you have a pan of green Jell-O and a pan of white Jell-O in the refrigerator and a cup of Jell-O on the countertop. You will need to go find something to do for at least an hour, probably closer to 2 hours.

7. When firm to the touch, cut green Jell-O into small pieces. Pop out white eyeballs or use a small circle cutter (cake decorating tip, bottle cap of vanilla, etc.) to cut out white eyes. Add black pupils with a food coloring pen.
8. Layer green Jell-O and eyeballs into small glasses.
9. Remember that cup of Jell-O on the countertop? Reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds if necessary and pour over the cups.
10. Return to the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Notes:
Use a well-greased, rimmed baking sheet to make the white Jell-O eyes if you don’t have a jelly bean mold.
You could also make this in a 9×13 dish instead of cups. I would still recommend reserving 1 cup of the Jell-O to pour over the eyes after you add them to the dish. That way it won’t look like all of your eyes have sunk to the bottom.
