Description

These Eyeball Jello Shots are a fun and spooky treat perfect for Halloween parties. Made with strawberry Jell-O, vodka, and topped with gummy eyeball candies, they offer a delicious combination of fruity flavor and a playful presentation. The recipe involves dissolving gelatin in boiling water, mixing in vodka and cold water, and chilling until set, creating perfectly portioned jello shots with an eerie twist.

Ingredients

Jello Shot Mixture

  • 3 ounce box Strawberry Jell-O gelatin
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • ½ cup cold water
  • ½ cup vodka

Garnish

  • 12 gummy eyeball candies

Instructions

  1. Dissolve Gelatin: In a large bowl with a pour spout, add the strawberry gelatin powder and one cup of boiling water. Whisk thoroughly until the gelatin is completely dissolved and no lumps remain.
  2. Mix in Liquids: Whisk in the half cup of cold water and half cup of vodka into the dissolved gelatin mixture until fully combined.
  3. Fill Cups: Arrange twelve 2-ounce jello shot cups on a rimmed tray to prevent spills. Slowly pour the strawberry jello mixture into each cup, filling up to the fill line while leaving about â…› inch space from the top rim of each cup.
  4. Initial Chill: Place the tray with cups into the refrigerator and chill for 1 to 1½ hours, or until the jello shots are partially set and firm.
  5. Add Eyeball Candies: Once partially set, place one gummy eyeball candy on top of each jello shot to create the spooky effect.
  6. Final Chill: Return the jello shots to the refrigerator and chill for an additional 1½ hours to overnight to allow the shots to fully set and firm up.
  7. Serve or Store: After setting, cover each cup with lids and stack them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

  • For best results, use a rimmed tray when refrigerating to avoid spills.
  • Allow extra refrigeration time if preparing the shots in advance to ensure firm texture.
  • You can substitute vodka with other clear spirits if preferred.
  • Use 2-ounce jello shot cups for easiest portion control and presentation.
  • These shots are best served chilled directly from the refrigerator.
  • Handle alcohol responsibly; recommended for adults only.
