31 Days of Halloween – Day 31
Halloween—finally!
Snack on these little morsels when you’re not giving out candy. You’ll need it to get through the hordes of the trick-or-treaters (okay, I’ll need it to get through the night.) Halloween shots are not like the typical Jell-O shots. These are made with sweetened condensed milk and unflavored gelatin. Once set, they look and taste more like flan than Jell-O. In the original recipe, the mixture is poured into prepared 13×9-inch baking pans then refrigerated for six hours before using ghost cookie cutters to cut out the shots. I used Halloween molds and Halloween ice cube trays to make the skull and ghost shapes, and I used vodka instead of rum. One last word: don’t eat too many. These tasty little treats will sneak up on you without warning.
