Candy corn is a type of confectionery made primarily from sugar, corn syrup, and flavoring. The candy is created by combining sugar, cornstarch, and other ingredients to form a dough, which is then formed into shapes and coated with food coloring.
Candy corn is one of the most popular Halloween candies in the United States, and is often used in decorations and as a treat for Trick-or-Treaters.

These treats are cute, easy, and delicious.
These treats may become your new party favorite.
You may end up with really light white lines in between each layer due to the whipped cream settling in each layer.
There’s really no way around this unless you skip the whipped cream, but the whipped cream helps define each layer since they give a transparent color otherwise and the orange does taint both the white and yellow layers.
Yes, you can make jello shots several days in advance. Simply prepare the jello according to the recipe instructions, then pour it into your shot glasses and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Yes, you can use any type of alcohol in your jello shots. However, we recommend using vodka, rum, or tequila as they mix well with the jello and provide a smooth flavor. Just don’t increase the measurements as it will keep the jello from setting.
To remove the jello shots from the shot glasses, simply run a sharp knife around the edge of each glass and then invert it onto a plate. The jello shots should easily come out of the glasses.
Jello shots can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days as long as you have them properly covered. However, we recommend consuming them within 24 hours for the best flavor.

View postA sweet and tart taste of autumn in a pot, this recipe for Instant Pot Apple Cider is the perfect addition to your holiday table.
Apple cider is a classic autumn drink, and it’s easy to make with an Instant Pot. This recipe only takes a few minutes to cook, and the result is a delicious, warm beverage perfect for chilly weather.
Plus, making apple cider in the Instant Pot means you can avoid heating up your kitchen by using the stovetop. Give this simple recipe a try for a quick and easy fall drink.
Possibly the best thing about the Instant Pot is how it can take a recipe that would normally require hours of cooking time and turn it into something that’s ready in just a fraction of the time.
This is especially true for recipes like apple cider, which can easily be turned into a delicious fall drink with just a few simple steps. Keep reading to learn how to make Instant Pot apple cider in no time at all!
Yes, you can absolutely make sugar-free apple cider in the Instant Pot! Just omit the brown sugar from the recipe and add a sweetener of your choice to taste after the cider has finished cooking. We like to use honey or maple syrup as alternatives.
However- if you are on a low-carb diet, the apples probably contain too much natural sugar to stay within the daily limits even when removing the sugar in this recipe.
Yes, you can definitely make cider in advance! Just cook it according to the recipe instructions and then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Reheat individual servings as needed.
This cider is perfect for fall and winter gatherings! Serve it at holiday parties, tailgates, or cozy family dinners. It’s also a great non-alcoholic option for serving at kid-friendly events.
Yes, cider freezes well! Just store it in an airtight container in the freezer and thaw it out when you’re ready to enjoy. It should keep for up to 3 months.
Yes, this recipe can also be made in a slow cooker! Just combine all of the ingredients in the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
There are so many ways that you can vary this recipe! Try adding different spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves. Or, add a splash of rum or bourbon for a boozy twist.
If you’d like a bit of sweetness, try adding a few tablespoons of honey or maple syrup. The possibilities are endless!
Often, an Instant Pot recipe would call for you to release all the pressure at the end of the timed pressure cycle. However, the cooking process stops when the pressure is released.
For recipes that call for a natural pressure release, you would refrain from releasing the pressure from the unit for a set amount of time. This allows for a little extra cooking time as the pressure inside naturally goes down.
At the end of the natural pressure release cycle, you would then use the valve to release the remaining pressure and stop the cooking process.
By today’s definition, they are virtually the same – if you are talking about an electric pressure cooker. However, a traditional pressure cooker and an instant pot are two different cooking methods.
A traditional pressure cooker is a sealed metal container that cooks food quickly by steam under increased atmospheric pressure and heats the pot to boiling point.
An Instant Pot, on the other hand, is an electric-style pressure cooker that uses the same idea for cooking foods but can do so with very little liquid. They are incredibly efficient, safer than a traditional pressure cooker, and super easy to use too. Plus they come with a multitude of other functions making them great for quick meal prep.
There are so many delicious things that go great with apple cider! Try serving it with warm cinnamon rolls, gingerbread cookies, or a slice of pie.
It’s also delicious paired with savory foods like roasted meats or sharp cheeses or cheese logs. really, the sky’s the limit! Just get creative and have fun experimenting.
Well- we didn’t pick the types of trees that were planted on our property. That was decided by the first owners and we are the lucky recipients. So I have no idea what types we have here. I’m just using what I have and it’s working just fine.
However – since I’m sure most of you will be buying your apples at the store – here are some suggestions.
When you are making apple cider, there are different kinds of apples that work best. Some apples have a higher water content, so they will add to the overall volume of the cider as well as the ratios with the other ingredients. Some are quite sweet, which can also change the overall outcome of the cider.
When picking an apple to make into apple cider, you want to focus on ones that are a bit more tart in flavor. This will result in a nice balance of tart and sweet for the perfect cider flavor. The best type of apple for this is usually the Red Delicious variety, though Golden Delicious will work as well.
I am currently using an 8-quart pot, but this recipe can be made in the 6-quart pot too. If you have one of the smaller versions (3-quart mini), I recommend cutting this recipe in half.

Looking for a fun, new way to enjoy sangria? Look no further than Sangria Jello Shots! These little shooters are perfect for parties, and they’re easy to make. All you need is some fruity sangria, gelatin, and your favorite party snacks. Enjoy!
When it comes to summer recipes, I always think of sangria. Something about chilling by the pool on a hot summer day and sipping on a refreshing glass and just relaxing.
But if you are hosting a party, you don’t want to have to sit behind the bar and serve every one all day. Instead – make these super easy Sangria Jello Shots and everyone can serve themselves.
These will have everyone at your next summer party, BBQ, or holiday happy. They are so much better than a regular cocktail – no spills and portion control is so much easier too.
Plus all your guests will LOVE having these in a shot. Something about jello just brings smiles. You can’t go wrong with these.
Sangria is a wine-based punch that originated in Spain. It typically contains red wine, fruit juices, and brandy or other spirits. Sangria Jell-O shots are a fun and festive way to enjoy this classic drink!
Yes – that should be sufficient. Just keep in mind that the ounces on the box are different when using sugar-free. Before you start, double-check the servings on the package to make sure they’re equivalent to those of the regular version.
Also, keep in mind that the alcohol added will naturally contain sugar – so there will still be sugar in the end result.
Jell-O shots are a type of alcoholic drink that is made by mixing Jell-O with alcohol.
The amount of alcohol you use will depend on how strong you want your shots to be. A good rule of thumb is to start with 1/2 cup of whatever alcohol you choose and adjust from there.
We are using a full cup of combined alcohol for this recipe – but be sure to not increase beyond that as the jello won’t set if the ratios are off.
Yes! If you want to make non-alcoholic jello shots, simply substitute the alcohol for water or juice.
Freezing jello is not recommended. The changes in the molecular structure during the freezing process make the jello lose its texture and it won’t harden. Frozen jello becomes melted and runny when thawed.
Yes, Jell-O shots can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead of time. Prepare the shots as directed and store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
They may be found at many retail stores, including Walmart and the dollar store. We live in a very rural area, so I get mine from Amazon online. At the bottom of this post is a link to some that I like.
Yep – you can change up the different types of alcohol used in these shots. However – you will want to keep the ratios the same so that there isn’t too much alcohol being added to the mixture.
Too much alcohol added will keep the shots from setting.
This jello shot recipe is SUPER EASY and delicious – and if you’re like me this time of year, then you maybe already have some of these items on hand OR maybe you have never made Jell-O shots before, & you might be a bit nervous – but you’re going to love them. I have made a list below of the things I absolutely can’t live without when it comes to making this fun adult treat recipe. (you can also SHOP MY FAVORITES in my store)

Combine granulated sugar, kosher salt, and lime zest. Before making your drink, dip the rim of the glass in water or lime juice followed by margarita mix.
A margarita is a cocktail made with tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. It is usually served with salt on the rim of the glass. But for these, we are giving it a summer twist with fresh watermelon, lime juice, and tequila. You can also add in a splash of triple sec or other citrus liqueur if you like.
To make frozen margaritas you can freeze the cubes of watermelon until firm – for usually about 4 hours. Then blend all of the ingredients together and serve.
The margarita is a Mexican cocktail that has been around since the early 1900s. The exact origins of the drink are unclear, but it is believed to have been invented in either Mexico City or Tijuana.
The most popular theory is that the margarita was created by a bartender named Francisco “Pancho” Morales. Morales is said to have invented the drink in 1938 at a bar in Tijuana. However, there is no concrete evidence to support this claim.
Another theory suggests that the margarita was actually invented by a different Francisco – Francisco “Pancho” Lopez. Lopez was a bartender who worked in Juarez, Mexico. He is said to have created the margarita in 1941, and the drink quickly became popular with American tourists.
Whatever its origins, the margarita is now a staple of Mexican cuisine. It is one of the most popular cocktails in the world, and it shows no signs of slowing down. So, next time you’re in the mood for a refreshing drink, be sure to give a margarita a try!

There’s nothing like the taste of a piña colada. But what if you could have it in a pudding shot? Try these Piña Colada Pudding Shots for a tasty little treat.
Looking for something different to bring to your next party? Try these piña colada pudding shots! Made with only a few simple ingredients, they’re easy to put together and sure to be a hit with everyone.
Plus, they’re the perfect excuse to enjoy a little bit of tropical flavor on a summer day. So go ahead and give them a try – I promise you won’t regret it!
When I think of summertime, my mind automatically goes to piña coladas. There’s something about the sweet and creamy tropical flavor that just screams “vacation.” And what’s not to love about a drink that can also double as a dessert?
These piña colada pudding shots are the perfect party treat for those who love tropical flavors. They’re simple to make and sure to be a hit with adults of all ages. So gather your friends and get ready to party!
A pudding shot is a dessert that combines pudding with alcohol. It is usually served cold and can last for several days in the fridge. Pudding shots are a popular party food because they are easy to make and can be made ahead of time.
To make a creamier, more luxurious pudding, substitute evaporated milk for regular milk or half and half. It not only adds to the texture of the dish but also vastly improves the taste of pudding mixes.
Make the instant pudding according to the package directions, but replace milk with heavy cream instead. Keep in mind that using heavy cream will make the mixture more like a mousse consistency which will be quite thick. Still delicious but more like a dessert server in a bowl – which is probably too much for something with alcohol in it.
Yes, you can freeze pudding shots. However, the alcohol content will keep the shots from freezing completely. Pudding shots can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.
If you use a higher proof alcohol (80-proof or higher), the stronger alcohol content may prevent the pudding from setting. You might have miscalculated your amounts or your proportion of pudding to alcohol, which will keep the pudding from setting. If that’s the case, add 8 ounces of whipped cream or cream topping before chilling it.
Serve with spoons; unlike Jell-O shots, it’s difficult to just run your tongue over the edge of a pudding shot in order to consume the entire thing. It is also pudding, so you won’t be able to remove it from the glass in one piece because it doesn’t hold its shape.
Vodka is the most popular type of alcohol used for pudding shots, but rum and whiskey are also common choices. You can use any type of alcohol that you like, but today we are using rum so we can achieve the pina colada flavor we are looking for.
Pudding is a dessert that combines milk or cream, sugar, and flour or cornstarch to make a smooth paste. It’s available in a variety of flavors, including chocolate, vanilla, and banana. Pudding is generally kept cold and eaten as a snack or part of a larger dessert.
Pudding shots can be served at room temperature, but they are more commonly served cold. This is because pudding is generally a cold dessert. When alcohol is added to the pudding, it can make the pudding set improperly if it’s not kept cold.
Pudding shots, like the ones pictured here, are usually prepared with one cup of alcohol for the entire batch. After that, it’s divided among the 12 shots — they aren’t very strong. It comes out to less than 1 ounce per shot, I believe. Increasing the booze could cause the pudding to set improperly.
Pudding shots will last for several days in the fridge. However, the alcohol will start to evaporate after a day or two. This means that the pudding shots will taste less alcoholic over time.
You can freeze pudding shots for up to two months. However, thawing and refreezing pudding shots is not recommended because it can cause the pudding to separate from the alcohol.
This pudding shot recipe is SUPER EASY and delicious – and if you’re like me, then you maybe already have some of these items on hand OR maybe you have never made shots with pudding before, & you might be a bit nervous – but you’re going to love them. I have made a list below of the things I absolutely can’t live without when it comes to making this fun adult treat recipe. (you can also SHOP MY FAVORITES in my store)

Great for all ages, this Roy Rogers Drink is an iced beverage, that’s a blend of cola, and grenadine then topped with a Maraschino cherry.
The Roy Rogers drink is a refreshing, flavorful mix of cola and grenadine. It’s perfect for any occasion and can be easily customized to suit your taste.
Whether you like your Roy Rogers sweet or tart, there’s a version for everyone. So next time you’re looking for a refreshing drink, give the Roy Rogers a try. You won’t be disappointed.
Growing up, we didn’t dine out very often. So when we did, I wanted something special to drink. At that time there were only two drinks I would get when we would dine out. Shirley Temple and the Roy Rogers.
Both of those drinks contain grenadine – which I absolutely love, even to this day. I’m a giant child when it comes to my favorite flavors and so these drinks are still my top choice when we head out.
The most common story is that the drink was named after the cowboy actor and singer Roy Rogers. There are a few other theories out there, but this is the most likely explanation.
A Roy Rogers is a drink traditionally made with cola and grenadine.
There are many variations of the recipe out there. Some include adding lemonade or limeade to the mix. Others use diet cola or cherry cola instead of regular cola. You can also add a shot of vodka or rum to make it a spiked Roy Rogers.
No, a traditional Roy Rogers is not-alcoholic. However, you can add a shot of vodka or rum to make it a spiked Roy Rogers.
Roy Rogers was an American cowboy actor and singer who was extremely popular in the 1940s and 1950s. He starred in many Western films and television shows, and his songs were hits on the radio. Today, he is best known for his work in The Roy Rogers Show. He was also the namesake of the popular drink, the Roy Rogers.
Rogers was born Leonard Franklin Slye in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1911. He moved to California with his family as a child and began appearing in western films in the 1930s. His career took off in 1938 when he starred in Under Western Stars. He went on to make over 100 movies and TV shows during his career.
In 1951, Rogers appeared on The Roy Rogers Show, which ran for six seasons. The show was extremely popular and made him a household name. He continued to appear in movies and TV shows throughout the 1950s and 1960s.
Rogers retired from acting in 1968, but he continued to make occasional public appearances until his death in 1998. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1980 and the Western Performers Hall of Fame at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City in 1988.
Add the cherries to a toothpick for a personal touch when serving!
If you want to use “the good ice” also known as pebble ice, some of your local fast food joints such as Sonic or Zaxby’s offer it by the bag for a couple of dollars. There are also a handful of different manufacturers that make a pebble ice machine for your home.
A Roy Rogers is a drink that is traditionally made with cola and grenadine. A Cherry Coke is simply a Coke that has cherry flavoring added to it during the manufacturing process.
A Roy Rogers can be served in any type of glass, but we recommend using a tall glass so you can see the pretty layers of grenadine and cola.
Grenadine is a syrup that is typically made from pomegranates. It is used in many cocktails and drinks for its sweet flavor and deep red color.
Serve over ice in a tall glass. Garnish with a cherry or orange slice if desired. Enjoy!
If you don’t keep grenadine on hand, or can’t find it in the store. You can try the flavored drink syrups in cherry or pomegranate flavor instead. That will get you to the closest flavor match.
You can also try using snowcone syrup as well.
In my opinion, this drink can hold its own and doesn’t need to be paired with anything else. However – it is also quite versatile and goes with anything you would serve with a regular cola drink. Try some of these great recipes with your Roy Rogers.
No, but it’s always fun to garnish a drink with a cherry or an orange slice.
This cola and grenadine drink recipe is SUPER EASY and delicious – and if you’re like me, then you maybe already have some of these items on hand OR maybe you have never made a non-alcoholic mixed drink like this before, & you might be a bit nervous – but you’re going to love it. I have made a list below of the things I absolutely can’t live without when it comes to making this drink recipe. (you can also SHOP MY FAVORITES in my store)

**Don’t miss our Red, White, and Blue Pudding Shots too!
Now I know that there are a lot of recipes out there for 4th of July Jello Shots that are layered jello in red, white, and blue. You can certainly do that by following my recipe here for layered jello.
But we wanted to keep the sangria vibe by using red jello to pair with the red wine and then top with berries for a pretty little shot. I have to say – they are every bit as delicious as a berry sangria. I know you’ll love them for your holiday celebration too.
Jell-O shots are a type of alcoholic drink that is made by mixing Jell-O with alcohol.
The amount of alcohol you use will depend on how strong you want your shots to be. A good rule of thumb is to start with 1/2 cup of whatever alcohol you choose and adjust from there.
We are using a full cup of combined alcohol for this recipe – but be sure to not increase beyond that as the jello won’t set if the ratios are off.
Yes! If you want to make non-alcoholic jello shots, simply substitute the alcohol for water or juice.
Yes, you can make Jell-O shots up to 24 hours in advance. Simply prepare the shots as directed and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
Gelatin is the most important component of jello. Gelatin doesn’t freeze well and, if you put solid jello shots in the freezer, the gelatin may expand and destroy its form and texture. The chemical structure of gelatin is disrupted when it is frozen, causing it to crystallize and grow.
If you use too much alcohol and not enough water, the jello shots won’t solidify correctly.
To fix – heat the liquid. The blooming of gelatin crystals will be enhanced by the heating process. You may also thicken the jello that isn’t setting by reheating it. If required, you can also add more bloomed gelatin while heating it up.
You can become inebriated eventually, depending on how tolerant you are to alcohol and how many you have. The truth is that while each shot has a distinct flavor, it isn’t very strong. 1 drink is equal to approximately 4 jello shots.
There are many ways to celebrate the 4th of July. Some people choose to attend patriotic parades or events, while others may enjoy a barbecue with family and friends. Many people also take advantage of the holiday to watch fireworks displays. No matter how you choose to celebrate, make sure you have fun and stay safe!
If you’re using the style of cups shown, run your finger around the outer edge of the shot and then shake the Jell-O into your mouth – out of the cup.
Memorial Day is a day to remember and honor those who have died serving in the Armed Forces.
Memorial Day is always observed on the last Monday in May.
This Jell-O shot recipe is SUPER EASY and delicious – and if you’re like me this time of year, then you maybe already have some of these items on hand OR maybe you have never made Jell-o shots before, & you might be a bit nervous – but you’re going to love them.

Traditional Italian cream soda is sweet, fizzy, and delicious. Our version is made with flavored syrup, half and half, and club soda. It’s great for parties, holidays, summer gatherings and so much more!
Italian Cream Soda is a delicious and refreshing beverage that is easy to make.
It can be enjoyed as is, or with a splash of fruit juice for added flavor. Italian Cream Soda is the perfect drink to enjoy on a hot summer day or any day!
Throughout the years, whenever we would dine out, the kids always wanted to get an Italian Cream Soda if it was on the menu. Those fruity, creamy drinks are really appealing – no matter your age.
But you don’t have to dine out to enjoy one. They are super simple to make with just a handful of ingredients.
We love to offer them as a fun alternative to cocktails when hosting a Bunco night, backyard BBQ, or potluck. So much better than what you get in the restaurant for a fraction of the price.
**Don’t miss our recipe for a Classic Roy Rogers Drink too!
Italian Cream Soda is a refreshing drink made with soda syrup, half and half, seltzer water, and ice. It can be garnished with whipped cream and fresh fruit if desired.
Nope! It was created by an Italian syrup company – which is why they added Italian to the name. But essentially these are homemade cream sodas – made with Italian syrup.
Cream soda (also known as creme soda or creaming soda) is a sweet soft drink. Generally flavored with rich flavors like vanilla or caramel or fruit flavors. The addition of half and half gives the flavor and texture of an ice cream soda. A wide range of variations can be found worldwide.
No! Carbonated water and flavoring syrups are used to make Italian sodas. There is no caffeine in the bottle unless you add it on purpose.
So – this is where it gets interesting. The traditional Italian version is just club soda, flavored syrup, and ice. The French version, (also called Italian Cream Soda) has the addition of half and half.
For the sake of this post – we are technically sharing the French version – but since both actually have the same name, it is up to you if you choose to add the half and half in your glass.
Either way, it is positively delicious. We love the creamy texture – but you can customize it as you like.
We serve this with just about anything – but here are some of our favorite recipes to pair with this great beverage!
When citrus is combined with dairy, curdling occurs. There is currently no way to prevent this from happening unless you use dairy-friendly products such as Torani’s Dairy-Friendly Orange Syrup. Another technique to prevent the curdling is to prepare the syrup first, followed by seltzer water, and ice, and then pour the cream over the top.
Fill the glass halfway with ice. For a 16-ounce cup, use about 6 pours of syrup. Feel free to experiment with various tastes!
Yes – syrups made for making snow cones are perfect for making cream soda. The thicker versions will sink better than the lighter, sugar-free versions!
You bet. I understand that a lot of people don’t keep club soda on hand. So in that case, a lemon-lime soda will work. Keep in mind that it will alter the flavor of the drink and will make it sweeter since it has sweeteners while club soda does not.
Also, make sure to pair your flavors – you might not want a lemon-lime flavor paired with something like caramel.
This fun drink recipe is SUPER EASY and delicious – and if you’re like me, then you maybe already have some of these items on hand OR maybe you have never made a drink like this before, & you might be a bit nervous – but you’re going to love it.

Blue Hawaiian Jello Shots are the perfect summer party treat! These boozy bites are sure to be a hit with your adult guests.
If you love classic cocktails, you’re going to love these Blue Hawaiian Jello Shots! Quick and easy, they’re adorable and perfect for a summer get-together. With a hint of coconut and pineapple, they’re sure to be a hit.
In my opinion, these are the best little treats to serve at your next summer gathering. Great for pool parties, a day out on the water at the lake, or served at an adult birthday party.
Blue Hawaiian Jello Shots are easy to make and only require a few simple ingredients. Be sure to make a batch of these refreshing shots for your next summer party!
I love these because they make it easy to have cocktails available without needing someone to man the bar. Plus portion control is super simple too.
You have to make these for your next gathering.
Vodka is the most popular choice for jello shots, but you can also use rum, tequila, or any other clear spirit.
The amount of alcohol you use will depend on how strong you want your shots to be. For this recipe, you will use NO MORE THAN 6 ounces of alcohol for every 3 ounces of Jell-O powder. You can use less – just don’t use more or the shots won’t set and you will have a mess.
Blue HawaiianJello Shots are not suitable for Vegans or Vegetarians, as they contain gelatin, which is derived from pork.
Yes! If you want to make non-alcoholic jello shots, simply substitute the alcohol for water or juice.
There are endless possibilities when it comes to flavor combinations. Some other popular flavors include strawberry daiquiri, piña colada, and cosmopolitan. Get creative and have fun experimenting!
Depending on how tolerant you are to alcohol and how many you have – yes, you can become intoxicated eventually. The fact is that while there is a strong alcohol taste to each shot, there really isn’t that much in each shot at all. 1 drink is equivalent to approximately 4 jello shots.
If you use too much alcohol and not enough water, the jello shots won’t solidify correctly.
To fix – heat the liquid. The blooming of gelatin crystals will be enhanced by the heating process. You may also thicken the jello that isn’t setting by reheating it. If required, you can also add more bloomed gelatin while heating it up.
Blue Hawaiian is a refreshing and delicious cocktail that is perfect for summer. This tropical drink is made with rum, pineapple juice, and Blue Curaçao. Blue Hawaiian Jello Shots are the perfect way to enjoy this classic cocktail in a shot form!
If you’re using the style of cups shown, run your finger around the outer edge of the shot and then shake the Jell-O into your mouth – out of the cup.
Blue Curaçao is a liqueur that is made with the peel of bitter oranges. It is one of the ingredients needed to make a classic Blue Hawaiian cocktail.
For these jello shots, we omitted it because the jello won’t set if it contains too much alcohol. We chose to add pineapple juice instead because it pairs so nicely with the flavor of coconut.
If you want more of an orange flavor instead of the pineapple, to get more of the Blue Curaçao flavor – you can use pulp-free orange juice in place of the pineapple juice for this recipe.
Sometimes you can find them at places like Walmart or the dollar store. But since we live very rural and have mostly mom & pop places around here – I order mine online from Amazon. I have a link towards the bottom of the post to the ones I like.
Gelatin is the most important component of jello. Gelatin doesn’t freeze well and, if you put solid jello shots in the freezer, the gelatin may expand and destroy its form and texture. The chemical structure of gelatin is disrupted when it is frozen, causing it to crystallize and grow.

I’m always looking for fun new ideas to make when it comes to our warm weather gatherings. My mom and mother-in-law both loved to make fun recipes to wow their friends and this one is no different.
These will have everyone at your next summer party, BBQ, or holiday happy. They are so much better than a regular cocktail – no spills and portion control is so much easier too.
Yep – you can use plain vodka, rum, or any other type of alcohol instead. Keep in mind that it will no longer be a spin-off of the classic drink recipe. But the recipe will still work.
Unfortunately not. You’ll need to keep the alcohol measurement the same – these won’t set and solidify if the ratios are off.

There are a few reasons why jello shots are popular. For one, they’re usually pretty cheap to make. They’re also pretty easy to make and can be made in all kinds of flavors. And lastly, they taste good and people tend to like the way they feel after drinking them.
The best tequila for Tequila Sunrise Jello Shots is a reposado tequila. Reposado tequilas are aged for at least two months, and up to one year, in oak barrels.
This aging process gives reposado tequilas their smooth, mellow flavor, which pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the orange juice and grenadine in Tequila Sunrise Jello Shots.
Yes, Tequila Sunrise Jello Shots need to be refrigerated. Jello shots are made with gelatin, which needs to be kept cold in order to set properly.
Yes, you can make Tequila Sunrise Jello Shots gluten-free by using gluten-free tequila.

These Easter Jell-O Shots are bright and festive. They are a delicious spring treat for the adults while the kids are enjoying the egg hunt.
Who loves Jell-O shots?? They are always a hit at parties and gatherings. Who can resist those cute little individually portioned gems in all the bright colors??
Since Easter is typically centered around the kiddos – I thought we needed a little something made just for the adults. These Easter Jell-O Shots were the perfect thing.
I super love the colorful layers. They make me happy. We made these with yellow, purple, and pink – but they would be cute with green or white or any other color you like.
Maybe make different batches – certain colors for adults only and then may regular Jell-O in the cups in a different color for the kids.
Sometimes you can find them at places like Walmart or the dollar store. But since we live very rural and have mostly mom & pop places around here – I order mine online from Amazon. I have a link towards the bottom of the post to the ones I like.
Yep – you can use plain vodka instead of the flavored kind if you have that instead. We just thought that the added whipped cream flavor would be delicious along with the grape, lemon, and pink starburst flavors.
Looking for rum jello shots instead? You can swap out the vodka for rum – be sure to use white rum for these. Just keep the alcohol measurement the same – these won’t set and solidify if the ratios are off.
If you use too much alcohol and not enough water, the jello shots won’t solidify correctly.

View postMatcha Shake is a delicious, nutritious, and convenient way to bring the benefits of matcha green tea to your day.
In fact, matcha is so nutritious you could be drinking matcha shakes every day.
We love this matcha shake to start the day because not only is it delicious but it’s easy to make too. Just 4 simple ingredients and 5 minutes are all you need.
Your matcha shake can include any number of ingredients to match your tastes, but this recipe here will get you started and that will give you some ideas for breakfast!
Matcha is made from a special Japanese green tea leaf that has been ground into a fine powder. Green tea in general is very high in catechin polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants that help with many kinds of illness.
In matcha, the catechins, as well as other beneficial chemicals, are much more potent because matcha is made from ground-up green tea leaves, where a greater quantity of matcha – and thus a greater quantity of matcha’s antioxidants – can be ingested.
Matcha has a bright vegetal flavor with hints of sweetness and umami. Ceremonial grade matcha can be consumed alone, while culinary grade matcha may be used in lattes, smoothies, and other drinks.
The taste of matcha can be earthy. The matcha powder itself might be harsh, but sweetening it with honey or sugar makes it more acceptable. The milk adds to the mix to make it smoother.
Most people use green tea powder in order to make matcha green tea, so if you’ve ever had that, you would know what matcha tastes like, although matcha contains more concentrated antioxidants than brewed green tea.
It loses its flavor after a year, even if it is unopened. If the package is opened, it will last up to 4 weeks and then it will lose color, flavor and get worse. It does not spoil in the traditional sense; it just becomes bad.
Please do not freeze matcha or Japanese green tea. While it is acceptable to store them in the refrigerator, freezing will cause them to lose flavor.
Because tea leaves are wet, this is a significant component of the taste and nutrients. As a result, frozen tea does the same thing.
Caffeine is present in both pre-made green tea and matcha, although it is less than that found in coffee or black tea. Matcha appears to have more caffeine than regular brewed green tea, as well as more EGCG. … The average brewed green tea has 25 to 86 mg of caffeine per serving.
It’s also easy to add it to recipes in order to provide a hint of matcha taste and a nutritional boost since it’s a powder. Matcha is wonderful in baked goods, such as porridge and chia pudding, as well as smoothies.
Coffee and matcha are both low in calories and have a harsh flavor. Despite the fact that they’re both caffeinated beverages, coffee has more caffeine per serving than matcha.
Citrus tastes are compatible with matcha, emphasizing the plant flavor of the powder. Citrus (particularly lemon) has been found to improve green tea antioxidant absorption by adding it to a flavor mix.
Because of the large surface area of the powder, air exposure can expedite matcha’s oxidation. When air is permitted access to matcha for a lengthy length of time, it works its way through the powder and begins to degrade the tea.
I’m not a dietician – but I have heard that matcha contains a high amount of catechins, which have been proven to aid in weight reduction and fat loss. Green tea can assist your body’s metabolism by naturally assisting in the acceleration of it, allowing you to burn more calories and store less fat in the process known as “thermogenesis.”
The matcha flavor complements dairy components like milk and cream extremely well, and vanilla adds the perfect smooth sweet flavor. This ice cream is delicate but delicious.
Cold and hot matcha are equally delicious. Cold, on the other hand, is more refreshing and has a smoother flavor. While matcha does not need to be heated in order for all of its health benefits to be obtained, it is preferable to prepare the drink with hot water because matcha contains L-theanine, which becomes more accessible when absorbed through the skin.
One method for keeping your matcha beverage longer is to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The quality of the powder will be maintained by keeping it cool and dry. This is a fantastic option if you live in a hot or humid environment.
This morning shake recipe is SUPER EASY and delicious – and if you’re like me, then you maybe already have some of these items on hand OR maybe you have never made anything with matcha before, & you might be a bit nervous – but you’re going to love it. I have made a list below of the things I absolutely can’t live without when it comes to making this shake recipe.

Cozy up with a glass of this Thanksgiving Punch! It’s a fruity holiday drink that is perfect for holiday gatherings with friends and family.
This is the perfect recipe for Thanksgiving. The taste of the apple and orange juice blends perfectly with the lemonade and sparkling water to give this drink that perfect Thanksgiving flavor.
We serve this drink – or variations of it – each and every year for the holidays. Everyone loves it and it is always one of the first things we run out of.
Fortunately, this punch recipe is so simple to make that we can have several pitchers going at the same time and whip up more in about 5 minutes when we run out.
Not only is it delicious – but it’s so pretty too. Just look at that gorgeous orange drink – so perfect for a fall holiday gathering.
I picked up mine on Amazon – however, I have found the same Tall Glass Pitcher here. I love it because not only is it pretty and simple and elegant – but it is large enough to hold a whole lot of punch, which is great for holiday parties.
You can really serve this punch recipe with just about anything. But since we are serving it for the holidays – here is a list of the recipes we typically serve with this delicious drink.
This drink is best when enjoyed immediately because of the carbonated component added. It also doesn’t keep too well for longer periods of time if you are adding any alcohol to the pitcher.
Try to enjoy this recipe freshly made – cutting the ingredients in half or even to 1/4 if it is too much.
Yes – this recipe is easily doubled, tripled, or whatever you like. We have even made this and served it in one of those huge coolers with the spigot that you see on the sidelines of football games. You know the ones that usually hold Gatorade. Because this punch is served cold- it is easy to store it in whatever you need and make as much as you like.
Yes, if you don’t want to use sparkling water you can use 7-Up, ginger ale, Sprite, or lemon/lime-flavored soda. Any clear, carbonated drink of choice should do the trick. You can even use those flavored sparkling waters if you want.
Frozen juice concentrate will still need to be made into juice before you can use it for this recipe. But once you do that, it is fine to use.
You bet! Diet juices and soda will work just fine with this drink recipe.
Absolutely. If you want to use cran-apple or pomegranate-cranberry juice in place of the straight apple juice, that will be just as delicious. You can also sub in lime juice or pineapple juice depending on your preference instead of the orange juice.
I have not personally tried it, so I can’t say how that would turn out. But I would imagine that would taste very similar and be just as delicious.
I like to make a double batch of this punch, leaving out the soda & any alcohol that might get added in addition to the punch when making the second batch.
Then I pour it into a bundt pan or jello mold & freeze it. Then I have a large “ice cube” that is not only pretty but won’t dilute the punch when it melts.
You can also freeze the fruit before adding it to the punch and they will work like ice. Also, try adding frozen cranberries, they can help act as ice cubes as well.
Yes. Just add 1 oz. of bourbon or light rum per serving. So for this 6 cup recipe, (serving 1/2 cup servings) – you would add 12 ounces of your alcohol of choice.
This holiday punch recipe is so simple to make – and you probably already have many of these items on hand this time of year just like I do! OR If you’ve never made your own punch before, you might be hesitant – but you & your guests are going to love this recipe for your holiday parties. I have made a list below of the things I absolutely can’t live without when it comes to making this punch recipe.

Learn How to Make a Chocolate Milkshake with this easy-to-follow recipe. You can make all different types of milkshakes using simple ingredients, including your favorite flavor of ice cream. It’s the perfect treat for any occasion or any time of year!
Do you enjoy the refreshing taste of a cold, delicious Chocolate Milkshake? If it’s one of those sweet treats you’ll often order while dining out at different restaurants, you can learn How to Make a Milkshake.
It’s a lot easier than most people think. You won’t need many ingredients to prepare this easy recipe for this shake. It’s also possible to customize your shake to your liking using different ice cream flavors and add-ins that will take it to the next level.
Growing up getting a milkshake was a special event. It was something we would order when we were celebrating something.
So it is only natural to associate this classic treat as something SPECIAL! Which is why I love that they are so simple to make at home.
You don’t have to use chocolate ice cream. If you don’t like it, replace it with the ice cream flavor that you enjoy most. You can keep it simple with basic flavors or use some of the more interesting ice cream flavors with added ingredients. It’s all about making a milkshake that you’re going to enjoy drinking.
Making a milkshake doesn’t take long at all. It’s a simple, stress-free process that takes roughly five minutes to make. You’ll spend about a minute gathering your ingredients and adding them to the blender, along with an additional three to four minutes to blend everything together. Once you’ve blended the ingredients, be sure to serve your milkshake immediately while it’s fresh and cold.
Whipped cream is a topping commonly added on top of a milkshake. It’s light, fluffy, and flavorful. You can use any whipped topping that you like, such as Reddi Whip or Cool Whip. You’ll notice that these brands offer whipped topping in different flavors, such as chocolate and birthday cake.
Feel free to use the traditional flavor or something more exciting to enhance the taste of your milkshake. Sprinkles are another great addition to milkshakes. You might also want to add chocolate bar crumbles, crushed cereal, or crushed cookies to your shake.
You can always add extra ingredients to the blender after adding your ice cream and milk to it. Some people like to add pieces of chocolate bars, M&M candies, crushed Oreo cookies, and even chopped peanuts to their shakes.
You can add anything that you think would taste great with the ice cream that you’re planning on using to make your shake.
If someone in your family can’t have dairy due to allergies, there is a way to make dairy-free milkshakes. Instead of using traditional ice cream, you’ll need to use dairy-free ice cream, which is available in many flavors.
Besides using dairy-free ice cream in the blender, you’ll also need to use an alternative to traditional milk, such as coconut milk, oat milk, or almond milk. Because almond milk is a bit thin, you’d need to use more ice cream to create a thicker milkshake from scratch.
You won’t need too many ingredients to make a delicious Chocolate Shake. Make sure you have the following items ready to use:
These are the three primary ingredients you’ll need. It’s also a good idea to have a few toppings, such as whipped cream, sprinkles, and maraschino cherries.
It’s best to make your milkshakes fresh and drink them immediately after. While you can put them in the freezer, the consistency will change, making it difficult for you to easily slurp your shake through a straw.
Follow this recipe to make two milkshakes at a time. You can double the recipe if you need to.
