🔪 How to Make Caramel Apple Jello Shots
These jello shots are incredibly easy to make. It only takes a few simple steps and a few minutes, and you’ll have some tasty adult treats for your next party.
Step 1: Make the Gelatin
In a medium bowl or small pitcher, add the water and sprinkle the gelatin on top. Allow it to bloom following the package directions. Stir well.
Step 2: Make the Shots
Add the apple vodka and stir well. Then, add the green apple syrup and stir. Finally, add several drops of neon green food coloring gel and stir, adding more drops as needed to reach your desired color.
Step 3: Chill
Pour the mixture into shot glasses and chill in the refrigerator at least 4 hours or until firm.
Step 4: Serve with Caramel
Before serving, unwrap 15 caramels and melt them in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds, stirring at 15-second intervals. Remove the shot glasses from the refrigerator and spoon the melted caramel over the top of the glasses. The caramel will likely run down the sides of the glasses. That’s okay. Let the caramel cool for a couple of minutes and enjoy!

⁉️ FAQ
Do you have questions about this recipe? Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions.
You absolutely can. Adding too much alcohol will inhibit the gelatin’s ability to set, leaving you with a partially congealed mess rather than jello shots.
They don’t actually make you drunker. What really happens is that you eat too many of them because the sweetness of the jello masks the flavor of the alcohol.
They’ll last for up to a week in the refrigerator.
