Halloween Jello Roll Ups

Directions

1. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin into a small bowl.
2. Add the cold water and whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
3. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and set the bowl aside.
4. Boil ½ cup of water, then pour it into the gelatin mixture and whisk until smooth.
5. Add the orange extract and stir to combine.
6. Place your ghost mold on a small baking sheet or cutting board to make it easier to transfer to the refrigerator without spilling.
7. Pour the gelatin mixture into the ghost molds, leaving a little space at the top so the ghosts will come out easily later. Avoid filling to the brim to prevent sticking.
8. Refrigerate the mold for 2 to 3 hours until the gelatin is firm.
9. Once firm, remove the ghosts by pushing upward from the bottom of each mold until the ghost pops out.
10. Pour the package of Jello into a medium bowl.
11. Add 1 cup of boiling water to the bowl and whisk until the Jello is fully dissolved.
12. Stir in the mini marshmallows and microwave on high for 1½ minutes. The marshmallows will become slightly puffy.
13. Whisk the mixture until it is smooth.
14. Pour the Jello mixture into a 9x13-inch pan.
15. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm. The marshmallow layer will naturally separate from the Jello as it chills, creating two distinct colors.
16. When firm, gently pull up the sides of the Jello to remove it from the pan. You can place it on a cutting board.
17. Starting from the middle of the long side, roll the Jello as tightly as possible.
18. Use a sharp knife to cut slices about ½-inch wide. Ensure slices are thick enough to easily slide onto a skewer without breaking.
19. Repeat steps 10 through 18 for each additional color of Jello roll you want to make.
20. Take a 10-inch skewer. You can mix and match colors as you like.
21. When placing a Jello roll on the skewer, pierce the tail end first and slide it down as far as you want. This prevents the roll from unraveling.
22. Ghosts slide more easily, so to keep them in place, first thread a mini marshmallow onto the skewer, then add the ghost. The marshmallow supports the ghost. It works best to put ghosts on top of Jello rolls or between two rolls.
23. Arrange all assembled skewers on a platter and serve.
