This fun treat is easy to make. You simply choose two colors of Jello for patriotic colors we chose red and blue. Then our third color is the white gelatin which is made using unflavored gelatin and sweetened condensed milk. You start by making your colored Jello and then after this is chilled for several hours or overnight you make your white gelatin. Then you combine them altogether and it looks just like broken glass. It is a very cool effect and it’s sure to be a show stopper.

Once solid, cut each of the different flavors into small square cubes.

Using a 9 x 13 glass dish, gently mix the cubes together in an even layer (being very careful not to break or tear them.)

In a medium-sized bowl, dissolve 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin in 2 cups of hot water. Let the hot mixture cool slightly and then whisk in the sweetened condensed milk.
