Ingredients

Pink Starburst Jello Shots
  • 1 Box Pink Starburst Jell-O 3.93 ounces
  • 2 Packets unflavored gelatin 0.25 ounces each
  • 2 Cups boiling water
  • 1 ¾ Cups vodka
  • 1 Cup cold water
  • ¼ Cup simple syrup
  • ½ Teaspoon strawberry extract
  • gold sanding sugar
Starburst Duos Jello Shots
  • 1 box Starburst Duos Gelatine
  • 3 cups water
  • 3 cups rum
  • 20 mini Starburst candies for decoration

Instructions

Pink Starburst Jello Shots Directions
    Cup of Yum
  1. Place plastic condiment cups (without lids) on a baking sheet.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pink Jell-O mix with 1 ½ cups boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
  3. Add in 1 cup vodka and ½ cup cold water. Stir well.
  4. Fill each shot cup about a third of the way full. Keep the remaining pink jello liquid that's leftover in the pan somewhere warm (you'll be using it later).
  5. Place tray of shots in the fridge on a flat surface and allow to set for about an hour (or until mostly firm).
  6. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the gelatin packets and ½ cup boiling water. Whisk until the gelatin has dissolved.
  7. Add in the simple syrup, strawberry extract, ½ cup cold water, and ¾ cup vodka. Stir well.
  8. Remove tray of shot cups from the fridge and fill each cup with this clear liquid so that the cups are 2/3 way full now.
  9. Sprinkle the top of this layer with gold sanding sugar and place the cups back in the fridge for another hour.
  10. Finally, fill the cups the rest of the way with remaining pink jello liquid. Leave a small space at the top of the cup so you can garnish or put on lids.
  11. Place back in the fridge for another hour or until solidified.
  12. Sprinkle with gold sanding sugar. You can also garnish with Starburst candy or Cool Whip before serving.
Starburst Duos Jello Shots Directions
  1. Line your cups up on a baking sheet or tray.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat ¾ cup of water on high, until boiling. Remove from heat, then stir in one of the 4 gelatin flavors, until fully dissolved. Stir in ¾ cup vodka. Divide evenly between 10 cups, filling each about halfway.
  3. Repeat the above process with a second flavor of gelatin, filling the bottom of the remaining 10 cups. Refrigerate all 20 cups for 1 hour, or until set.
  4. Use the above steps to make the 3rd flavor of gelatin, allowing it to cool for about 10 minutes before pouring on top of one of the flavors you already made, to have 2 layers.
  5. Make the 4th flavor of gelatin, allow to cool for 10 minutes, then pour on top of the last 10 cups that still need a second layer.
  6. Place all of the cups back in the fridge to chill. When they are partially set, top each with a mini Starburst candy, then place back in the fridge to finish setting.
