Perfect for parties, these layered gelatin shots offer a playful mix of flavors and textures that capture the spirit of the holiday.


Ingredients

Scale

Orange Jello Layer

  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 package orange Jello powder
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1/2 cup vodka (or substitute with soda for non-alcoholic option)

Black Cherry or Grape Jello Layer

  • 1 package black cherry or grape Jello powder

Halloween Decorations

  • 1 cup candy corn
  • 1 cup gummy worms


Instructions

  1. Prepare Orange Jello Mixture: In a bowl, dissolve the orange Jello powder in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir well until completely dissolved. Add 1/2 cup of cold water and 1/2 cup vodka or soda, mixing thoroughly.
  2. Set Orange Layer: Pour the orange Jello mixture into shot glasses or small serving cups. Place them in the refrigerator and chill until set, about 2 hours.
  3. Prepare Black Cherry/Grape Jello Mixture: Dissolve the black cherry or grape Jello powder in 1 cup boiling water (not listed originally, but needed for preparation). Stir well, then let cool to room temperature.
  4. Add Decorative Candy: Once the orange layer is set, sprinkle candy corn and gummy worms on top evenly for a festive Halloween look.
  5. Add Black Cherry/Grape Layer: Carefully pour the cooled black cherry or grape Jello mixture over the candy decorations in each shot glass. Refrigerate again until this second layer is firm, approximately 2 hours.
  6. Serve: Once fully set, serve chilled at your Halloween party for a spooky and fun treat.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute vodka with soda or sparkling water.
  • Make sure the black cherry or grape Jello mixture is cool before layering to prevent mixing of layers.
  • Use clear shot glasses or small cups to show off the colorful layers and candy decorations.
  • These jello shots should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 2 days for best taste and texture.
