How Many Jello shots can I make with this recipe?

You can make about 25 plastic shot glasses. Some recipes call for cherry jello but I used strawberry jello for this recipe. Instead of doing a red layer, a blue layer and a white layer, these jello cups have more of a stained glass look.

This recipe calls for sweetened condensed milk and unflavored gelatin. You will be mixing the strawberry and berry blue jello layer. You will need a small bowl and a medium bowl to put everything together.
