Ingredients
4
envelopes unflavored gelatin
1
cup tonic water
3
cups boiling water
2
cans (14 oz each) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
1 1/2
cups light rum
1
teaspoon vanilla
Black string licorice, cut into 100 tiny pieces
Preparation
Spray 2 (13x9-inch) pans with cooking spray. In large bowl, sprinkle gelatin on tonic water to soften; let stand 5 minutes. Pour 1 cup of the boiling water on gelatin; stir until gelatin is dissolved. In medium bowl, mix condensed milk and remaining 2 cups boiling water. Add condensed milk mixture, rum and vanilla to gelatin, stirring until well blended. Pour mixture evenly in pans. Refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
Using lightly greased 2-inch ghost-shaped cookie cutter, cut out ghosts. Place on serving platter. Add 2 licorice pieces to each ghost for eyes.
