Ingredients

4 cups Water
4 envelopes of Unflavored Gelatin
1 Tablespoon Sweetened Condensed Milk
Red Food Coloring Gel
Green Food Coloring Gel
1 teaspoon Peppermint Syrup Divided
½ teaspoon Marshmallow Syrup
Candy Canes for Garnish
Redi-Whip Whipped Cream for topping
Crushed Candy Canes - to top

Instructions

In a medium sized bowl, add the water, and sprinkle the Gelatin on the top, and allow it to bloom, following the directions on the package.
Stir well to blend. Divide the Gelatin into three smaller bowls - 1 1/3 cups each bowl.
In one bowl, add 1/2 teaspoon of the Peppermint Syrup, and stir well.
Add the Red Food Coloring Gel, about 2 - 3 drops, and stir well to blend.
In the next bowl, add 1/2 teaspoon of Peppermint Syrup, and stir well.
Add 2 -3 drops of the Green Food Coloring Gel, and stir.
In the last bowl, add the Sweetened Condensed Milk, and 1/2 teaspoon of the Marshmallow Syrup, and stir well.
Fill the small dishes 1/3 of the way full with the Green Gelatin, and place the dishes in the refrigerator for 1 hour for the Gelatin to set.
Check to make sure the Gelatin is firm, or set (it will be set, but not hard).
Remove the dishes from the refrigerator, and pour the White layer, on top of the Green Layer, making the dish 2/3 full. Place the dishes back in the refrigerator for another hour, to set the White layer.
Remove the dishes from the refrigerator, and pour the Red layer on top of the White layer, filling the dishes with the Gelatin.
Place the dishes back in the refrigerator overnight to completely set the Gelatin.
When ready to serve, place a large dollop of Whipped Cream on top of the Gelatin, and sprinkle crushed Candy Canes on top.
Serve garnished with additional Candy Canes. Enjoy!

Notes

I used a large 8 cup measuring cup, with a spout to pour from, to mix the Gelatin. It's easy to pour into the smaller bowls. I used a small ladle to place the Gelatin into the small dishes, but you can also use a measuring cup with a spout to pour the Gelatin if that's easier, instead of using small bowls. Try to keep the Gelatin divided evenly in the dishes for a pretty presentation.
