Are you hosting a Halloween Party? These Jello Shots would be so fun, and they are super easy to make and like with any jello can be made up ahead of time. We have taken Jello Shots to the next level when we created the 4th of July Jello Shots, Irish Jello Shots and we can’t forget the Mardi Gras Jello Shots.

And most recently we decided to leave the plastic shot glass in the cupboard, and created Margarita Jello Shots.

  1. Do you need to use the gelatin or is that personal preference?

    1. Hi Amy, yes you need to use the gelatin, it serves as a stabilizer in the jello – it makes the jello thick.
      -Liz

    2. If you are making the adult version I don’t see gelatin listed, should it still be used? Also, if you still want to layer the adult version would you follow that receipe for each color and just layer them?

      1. Hi Beth, the adult version is listed in the recipe card —
        Add 1 cup boiling water to 1 box of Jello and stir to dissolve.
        Add 3/4 cup vodka and 1/4 cup cold water, stir to combine
        Add to shot glasses and chill
        Note – this is for a single flavor

        No unflavored gelatin for the adult version
        For layering – yes, just let one layer set completely before adding the second layer.

        Hope that helps!
        -Liz

        1. My apologies for the confusion, here is the recipe –
          Add 1 cup boiling water to 1 box of Jello and stir to dissolve.
          Add 3/4 cup vodka and 1/4 cup cold water, stir to combine
          Add to shot glasses and chill
          Note – this is for a single flavor

          No unflavored gelatin for the adult version
          For layering – yes, just let one layer set completely before adding the second layer.

  3. Oh my gosh, such a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

    1. Thanks Sarah! The Candy Corn Jello Shots are really fun to make…well to eat too 🙂

  4. These look so yummy! We don’t really have Jello in Australia. I’m not sure what brands they have here, but I am very tempted to make this! Happy Halloween.

  5. debra frieda says:

    when you add the second color, does the first color melt?

    1. Hi Debra, it should not melt if the first color is set up enough.
      ~Liz

  6. Hi Lorrie, yes include the gelatin. The box of Jello and the gelatin get combined and the liquid is added. The gelatin makes the Jello a little thicker, so you could leave it out if you rather, but I always include it.
    ~Liz

    1. Thanks Melissa! They are really fun to serve, guests think they take a long time to create.
