Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (3 oz) of lime or cherry flavored gelatin
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- Gummy eyeballs (available at most candy stores or online)
- Whipped cream or frosting for decoration
- Food coloring (optional, for extra creepy effects)
Instructions
- Begin by boiling 1 cup of water and pouring it into a mixing bowl with your gelatin powder. Stir thoroughly until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Then, add 1 cup of cold water to cool the mixture slightly.
- Pour the gelatin mixture into small cups or molds, leaving enough space at the top for the eyeballs. Refrigerate for about 2-3 hours or until the gelatin is firm.
- Once the gelatin is set, gently place gummy eyeballs into each cup, pressing them just beneath the surface for a realistic look. You can adjust the placement depending on how creepy or subtle you want your eyeballs to appear.
- Decide if you’d like to enhance the spooky effect with food coloring or additional whipped cream to mimic bloody or bloody-looking eyeballs. For more fun, add drops of red food coloring around the eyeballs for a gory effect.
Notes
- Keep your spooky jello shots refrigerated until ready to serve. They last up to 24 hours if kept chilled.
- For transport or outdoor parties, place the jello in an airtight container and keep on ice to prevent melting.
- Add extra food coloring or decorations for a more dramatic or gory appearance.
