To achieve the vibrant, layered effect of a Jello Bento Box, prepare each flavor individually. Follow the steps below for each of the four distinct flavors.

Boil one cup of water and pour into a bowl with gelatin and sugar. Stir until dissolved.
Add the liquor, juices, and Hedessent flavoring. Stir thoroughly.
Pour the mixture into molds and refrigerate for six hours until set.
Once set, slice the jello into small pieces and dust with edible glitter or sparkly sugar.

Notes

Pro Tip: Create layers by pouring different flavours on top of each other for a multi-coloured effect.
