Chocolate Marshmallow Jello Shots Recipe
Jello shots are very popular party “drinks”. Everywhere you turn someone has a Jello shot recipe. But, in a bit of irony, most “Jello” shot recipes are not made with “Jello” (Kraft) at all… they are made with unflavored gelatin, usually Knox (Unilever) or the store brand.
While researching gelatin shots recipes, I spent some time on the Knox gelatin page, and the read is fascinating. It is the largest distributor of gelatin selling 60% for home and institutional usage, and 40% to industrial and manufacturing. Knox really took off after the owner died and his wife took over the company. If you have a few minutes, give it a read. I learned some things (the first gelcap in the 1920s!), and you may too.
I make a lot of Jello shots for parties. It is amazing how everyone reverts to their younger-self when they see these, sometimes for the first time in 20 years! Some favorites are the apple pie jello shots and the margarita jello shots recipe as well as my favorite: the Christmas cookie jello shots!
Jello Shots are pretty easy to make. This is the basic recipe anyone can follow:
● 1 small box of Flavored Gelatin (there are others with unflavored Gelatin, but this is the basics)
● 1 cup water, boiling
● 1 cup of: vodka/rum/tequila/whiskey/schnapps/liqueurs
The 1 cup of some sort of spirits is the key. The different flavor combinations of alcoholic beverages combined with the flavored gelatin are what make the tasty jello shot varieties.
● Even though a normal jello shot recipe should always yield 12 2-ounce jello shots may not work out that way.
Tips for Making Chocolate Marshmallow Jello Shots:
● I line up a baking tray with XX Souffle Cups before I pour any jello shot mixture. It makes transporting the jello shots to the fridge MUCH easier!
● Used in this post are two-ounce soufflé cups. If you use a different size soufflé cup or shot glass (larger or smaller) the number of jello shots you yield will be different.
● When you have dipped the cups (or shot glasses) into the melted chocolate if you would like, dip into some chocolate sprinkles!
● Keep in the fridge or on ice when serving, especially on a hot day.
