How to Make Candy Corn Jello Shots

Halloween is just around the corner, and it’s time to get creative with some spooky treats. One excellent way to level up your Halloween party is by making candy corn jello shots! Jello shots are known as a fun and flavorful way to enjoy a little liquid courage, but adding a candy corn twist makes them even more exciting. This article will guide you through the process of making delicious candy corn jello shots, guaranteed to be a hit at any Halloween gathering.
Ingredients:
– 1 cup boiling water
– 1⁄2 cup cold water
– 1⁄2 cup flavored vodka (orange or lemon)
– 3 packets unflavored gelatin
– 14 oz can condensed milk
– Yellow and orange food coloring
– Mini plastic shot glasses
– Candy corn for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare your shot glasses by lining them up on a baking tray or large plate for easy transportation and filling.
2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine one packet of unflavored gelatin with 1⁄4 cup of boiling water, stirring until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
3. Stir in the condensed milk until well combined, then add the cold water and flavored vodka.
4. Divide the mixture evenly into two separate bowls.
5. In one of the bowls, add a few drops of yellow food coloring and stir well to achieve the desired shade.
6. In the other bowl, add a few drops of orange food coloring and mix thoroughly to reach your desired hue.
7. Begin layering your jello shots by carefully pouring a layer of yellow-colored mixture into each shot glass, filling them about a third full. This will be the base layer of your candy corn jello shots.
8. Allow this layer to set in the refrigerator for around 45 minutes to an hour, checking periodically to ensure it has reached the right consistency.
9. Once the yellow layer has set, carefully pour the orange mixture on top of the hardened yellow layer, filling each shot glass two-thirds of the way up.
10. Return the shots to the refrigerator and let them set for another 45 minutes to an hour.
11. Finally, add a small piece of candy corn as a garnish to each shot just before serving. This not only adds a fun touch of authenticity but also serves as a sweet treat after enjoying your jello shot.
Now you’re ready to impress your party guests with these delectable candy corn jello shots! They not only look festive but taste delicious too, adding a whimsical touch to your Halloween festivities. Enjoy responsibly and have a spook-tacular time!
