Watch it wiggle, see it freak out your party guests

Watch it wiggle, see it freak out your party guests

Browsing through our archives for cool Halloween ideas, I came across this old link to a post highlighting a recipe for super spooky eyeball Jell-O shots. Non-alcoholic for the kids, of course. Poking around the site, turns out there's a ton more great ideas for any upcoming Halloween parties you might have on the calendar.


At Jelly Shot Test Kitchen, the updates are now few and far between but the recipe archive is still quite good. Do some searching and you'll find recipes like Candy Corn Jello and Polyjuice Potion made with gingerale, pineapple and lime, and topped with gummy worms.

If you want something more uh...potent, there are plenty of boozy recipes too like these cool Gumball Jelly Shots made in a skull ice cube tray--though surely you can skip the booze and just use the tray idea.




Of course some of the recipes do require tools like flexible silicon molds and mini loaf pans, so it's probably not a beginner project. But whoa, the results look totally worth a trip to the kitchen store. -Liz
