Stir the mixture well to combine all the ingredients. If you want to intensify the color, add a few drops of food coloring at this stage and mix thoroughly.
- Pour into Shot Glasses: Carefully pour the gelatin mixture into shot glasses or small cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Leave enough space at the top for the candy eyeball.
- Chill the Shots: Place the filled shot glasses into the refrigerator and allow them to chill for at least 2-3 hours, or until the gelatin has fully set.

Extra Tips: For an added spooky effect, consider serving the jello shots on a platter lined with dry ice to create a misty, eerie appearance.

- 4-6 small plastic shot glasses or cups
Cooking Instructions:
- Dissolve the Jello: Begin by adding the green apple jello powder into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Carefully pour in 1 cup of boiling water over the powder. Stir until the jello is completely dissolved, confirming there are no granules left.
- Add the Alcohol: Next, pour in 1/2 cup of cinnamon schnapps, followed by 1/2 cup of cold water into the dissolved jello mixture. Stir well to fully combine the ingredients. This will allow the flavors to meld while maintaining the jello’s firm texture.
- Prepare the Molds: Set out 4-6 small plastic shot glasses or cups on a tray or in a muffin tin for stability. If you wish, sprinkle a small amount of edible glitter into the bottom of each cup to add a magical sparkle to your shots.
- Pour the Mixture: Carefully pour the jello mixture into each cup, filling them up to about three-quarters full. This guarantees the shots are easily handled and allows room for any additional garnishes.
- Refrigerate: Place the filled cups into the refrigerator and allow them to chill for at least 2-3 hours, or until the jello is fully set. This chilling time is essential for achieving the perfect texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, remove the jello shots from the refrigerator. If desired, sprinkle a little more edible glitter on top for an extra festive touch before serving to your guests.
Extra Tips:
For an added twist, consider garnishing your Poison Apple Jello Shots with a slice of fresh apple or a cinnamon stick just before serving. Confirm the shot glasses are stable in the fridge to prevent spillage during the setting process.
If you’re making these shots in advance, cover them with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out. Enjoy responsibly, as these shots pack a punch with their alcohol content!

Ingredients (Serves 4-6):
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 package (3 oz) black cherry gelatin
- 1/2 cup vodka
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 package (3 oz) lime gelatin
- 1 cup boiling water (for lime gelatin)
- 1/2 cup crushed chocolate cookies
- Gummy worms
- 4-6 clear plastic cups
Instructions:
- Prepare the Black Cherry Layer:
- In a medium-sized bowl, dissolve the black cherry gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved.
- Add 1/2 cup of vodka and 1/2 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture. Stir well to combine.
- Pour the mixture evenly into the clear plastic cups, filling each one about halfway.
- Place the cups in the refrigerator and allow them to set for about 1-2 hours.
- Once the black cherry layer is set, begin preparing the lime gelatin. Dissolve the lime gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved.
- Allow the lime gelatin to cool for a few minutes before proceeding.
- Carefully pour the cooled lime gelatin over the set black cherry layer in each cup, leaving a little space at the top of each cup for the “dirt” layer.
- Return the cups to the refrigerator and let them set for another 1-2 hours.
- Once the lime gelatin is set, sprinkle a layer of crushed chocolate cookies on top of each jello shot to resemble dirt.
- Add a couple of gummy worms to each cup, allowing them to peek out of the “dirt” for a creepy effect.
- Serve your Haunted Graveyard Jello Shots chilled, and enjoy the spooky delight!
Extra Tips:
For an extra eerie effect, consider using a small amount of green food coloring in the lime gelatin to enhance its color. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, simply replace the vodka with an equal amount of cold water.
To make the jello shots even more visually striking, use a variety of gummy creatures, like spiders or snakes, to decorate each cup. Remember to prepare these jello shots at least a few hours before your event to guarantee they’ve enough time to set properly. Happy haunting!
