Gummy Worm Jello Shots

Homemade gummy worms infused with liquor to make a fun and unique version of jello shots.
A small glass bowl filled with bright green and red gummy worms made with Crown Apple.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1/4 cup Alcohol
  • 6 ounce Flavored Jello
  • 2 packets Knox gelatin, (.25 oz each)

Instructions

  • Add water, alcohol and flavored Jello to a sauce pan. Stir to combine.
  • Sprinkle the Knox gelatin packets over the top in an even layer and allow it to sit for 5 minutes and "bloom". (This ensures the gelatin will dissolve and not clump together).
  • After the gelatin has bloomed, turn the heat on medium low and stir mixture until all the gelatin is dissolved and mixture is smooth. (Keep it under 173°F to ensure the alcohol does not burn off).
  • Remove from heat and use the droppers that come with the gummy worm molds to fill each one. To make a single gummy worm two different flavors, fill with a syringe from each end of the mold at the same time.
  • Place in the fridge to set - this should only take about 30 minutes.
  • Pop gummy worms out of the mold and store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to consume.
  • To make sour gummy worms, toss the worms in a 2:1 mixture of sugar and citric acid.
