Ingredients:
2 pkgs. (3 oz. each) orange flavor gelatin
2 pkgs. (3 oz. each) lemon flavor gelatin
5 c. boiling water, divided
2/3 c. cold water, divided
2 c. ice cubes, divided
4 envelopes (1/4 oz. each) unflavored gelatin
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp. orange extract
1 tub (8 oz.) whipped topping, thawed
Green food coloring
Worm shaped chewy fruit snacks

Directions:
Lightly coat two 9x13 glass baking pans with cooking spray.  In one bowl, add 2 c. boiling water to 2 pkgs. orange gelatin.  Whisk until completely dissolved.  Add 1 c. ice and 1/3 c. cold water.  Stir until ice melts.  Pour into one of the pans; refrigerate.  In a separate bowl, repeat the steps with the lemon gelatin and pour into the other prepared pan.  Refrigerate both until set; about 2-4 hours.

In a medium bowl, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over 1/2 c. cold water; let stand 1 minute.  Stir in 1 c. boiling water.  Add sweetened condensed milk and orange extract; mix well and let cool completely, stirring often.

Coat 6 c. gelatin mold with cooking spray.  Cut gelatin into squares.

Alternate colors and layer inside mold.  Add a few worm-shaped chewy fruit snacks as desired.

Carefully pour milk mixture over gelatin in mold.  Cover; refrigerate overnight.

Before serving, let gelatin mold sit at room temperature for a few minutes.  Gently loosen edges of mold to help it release.  Top with plate; invert mold and tap to release.  Garnish.

To garnish, stir a few drops of green food coloring into whipped topping and gently fold to blend in color.  Spoon whipped topping into center of gelatin mold, and decorate with a few worm-shaped chewy fruit snacks.
