If you want to do a non-alcoholic Halloween Jello shot, then just replace the alcohol in the recipe with hot water. That is all it takes to convert it over. This jello idea is fun, and the creamy layer adds a nice richness to the jello.

How to Make Tie Dye Halloween Jello Shots

Start by mixing up the orange and grape jello as directed on the box. Make sure to store each jello in its own container. Place in the fridge to allow the jello to fully set up.

Once the Jello is set up, you will then remove it from the fridge and use a fork or spoon, and kind of break up the Jello into clumps.

Add your unflavored gelatin into a bowl and add in the cold water. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes. Once the gelatin has bloomed, add the hot water and rum, and mix well.

Stir in the condensed milk and allow it to cool down, otherwise, it will melt your Jello.

Then you will begin to assemble your Jello shots. Add in some of one color, then the white mixture, then adds in the second color, and repeat. You want to create layers of color, to give it that tie-dye design.

Place the Jello shots in the fridge, and allow them to set up. Then serve and enjoy.

Variations To Recipe And Tips

You are welcome to use any colors of Jello you want. Blu would be another great color or even green.
Don’t add extra alcohol or you will run the risk of your Jello shots not set up properly. Too much alcohol will not allow the gelatin to set up.
You can make these shots in advance up to a day in advance.
Store the Halloween jello in the fridge in a covered container for up to 5 days.

Chilling 1

Total: 2 10

Ingredients

▢ 6 ounce box orange Jell-O Mix
▢ 6 ounce box grape Jell-O Mix
▢ 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
▢ 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin
▢ 5 cups boiling water divided
▢ ½ cup cold water
▢ ½ rum or another choice of liquor
▢ For non-alcoholic replace the rum with 1/2 cup hot water

Instructions

Mix orange and grape Jello per the box directions and place them into bowls into the fridge for at least 4 hours until set.
Break up Jello and place into Jello shot cups. A little of each color works well.
In a separate large bowl, sprinkle 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin into 1/2 cup cold water and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
After the gelatin blooms (it will look mostly dissolved and get wrinkly on the surface), add 1 cup boiling water and 1/2 cup rum (replace with water if you want non-alcoholic); stir to dissolve.
Add the can of condensed milk and stir to combine; set aside to cool to room temperature. It must cool, or it will melt the orange and purple jello.
Pour the cooled milk mixture over the orange and purple Jello in the shot cups.
Place in the fridge overnight to set. Serve nice and cold for a fun treat.

Recipe FAQs

Can you freeze these Halloween jello shots?

Unfortunately, you can not freeze these shots. You will find once they thaw the texture will not be the same. So only make what you plan to eat.

How long does it take jello to set up?

The first set of jello will take around 4 hours. Once you add in the milk layer, return it to the fridge and give it another 2-3 hours.

Can I make these in advance?

Go right ahead and make these shots a day in advance. Just store in the fridge, covered. That way the shots don’t soak in other flavors from your fridge.
