Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 package orange Jello powder (or any orange-flavored gelatin)
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup vodka (or substitute with soda for non-alcoholic version)
- 1 package black cherry or grape Jello powder
Garnishes
- 1 cup candy corn
- 1 cup gummy worms
Instructions
- Boil Water: Bring 1 cup of water to a rolling boil in a medium saucepan over high heat to prepare for dissolving the gelatin powder.
- Dissolve Orange Jello: Remove the boiling water from heat and stir in the orange Jello powder until it is completely dissolved and smooth.
- Add Cold Water and Vodka: Stir in 1/2 cup cold water and 1/2 cup vodka gently to combine the mixture evenly.
- Pour Orange Layer: Pour the orange gelatin mixture halfway into shot glasses and place them in the refrigerator to chill and set for about 1 hour.
- Prepare Black Cherry/Grape Jello: While the orange layer sets, boil another 1 cup of water and dissolve the black cherry or grape Jello powder completely.
- Pour Second Layer: Once the orange layer is set, carefully pour the black cherry or grape Jello mixture over the orange layer in the shot glasses.
- Chill Fully: Return the shot glasses to the refrigerator and let them chill for an additional 2 to 3 hours until the second layer has fully set and is firm.
- Garnish: Before serving, top each jello shot with candy corn or a gummy worm to add a fun and festive Halloween touch.
Notes
- You can substitute vodka with soda or juice to make these jello shots alcohol-free for all guests to enjoy.
- Be gentle when pouring the second Jello layer to avoid mixing the colors.
- Use shot glasses or any small clear cups for best presentation of layered gelatin.
- Refrigerating the first layer until fully set is crucial to prevent the layers from blending.
