Description

These Boozy Jello Candy Melts are a sweet and slightly chewy grown-up version of gummy candy with a kick! Infused with vodka and flavored with your favorite Jello, they’re the perfect fun treat for parties, game nights, or gifting to your adult friends.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (3 oz) flavored Jello (any flavor)

  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin (0.25 oz)

  • ½ cup boiling water

  • ¼ cup vodka (or any alcohol of choice)

  • 12 tbsp corn syrup (optional for glossy finish)

  • Nonstick spray or oil for molds

  • Silicone candy molds or mini ice cube trays


Instructions

1️⃣ Prep molds: Lightly spray silicone molds with nonstick spray or brush with oil. Set aside.

2️⃣ Mix gelatin: In a heatproof bowl, combine flavored Jello and unflavored gelatin. Add boiling water and stir until fully dissolved (2–3 minutes).

3️⃣ Add alcohol: Stir in vodka and corn syrup (if using). Mix well.

4️⃣ Fill molds: Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared molds using a dropper or small measuring cup.

5️⃣ Chill: Place molds in the fridge for 1–2 hours until firm.

6️⃣ Unmold and store: Gently pop the candy out of the molds. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Flavor tips: Cherry, strawberry, and blue raspberry work great with vodka. Try rum or tequila for tropical flavors.

  • Make it stronger: Use up to ⅓ cup alcohol—but keep in mind, more alcohol may affect the set.

  • Creative shapes: Use fun silicone molds like hearts, stars, or seasonal shapes for festive flair.
