Spooky Eyeball Jello Shots for Your Halloween Bash! 🎃

Okay, so who’s ready to get their creep on this Halloween?? I mean, nothing screams “fun” like jiggly eyeballs, am I right? 🥳 These eyeball jello shots are not just cute but also cute enough to make your friends squeal and perfect for those late-night spooky vibes.

Okay, let’s talk about how I came up with this madness. So, last year, I had a Halloween party and, of course, I went way overboard with the decorations. I had fake spiders, cobwebs — you name it. But then, I realized my drink game wasn’t matching my epic décor. I mean, what’s a haunted house without a little potion, right? So, I whipped these up on a whim, and OMG it was a hit! Everyone was taking selfies with them—like, I didn’t even know jello could be a social media star, but here we are.

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, grocery store run time! Here’s what you need:
– 1 Box strawberry jello (3 ounce) — duh, it’s gotta be red, folks!
– ¾ Cup lemon juice (red berry flavor) — I know, sounds wild, but trust me, it’s the secret sauce.
– 1¼ Cups boiling water — just boil the water and be careful, don’t burn yourself (I totally did that last time).
– 9 bloodshot eye candies — these are the pièce de résistance. I found mine at a candy shop, but you might snag ’em online too.

Grab your shopping bag, and let’s make this happen!

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, so here’s the tea: I make these jello shots every Halloween. Like, it’s become a *thing* now. My friends expect them, and I can’t let them down, ya know? Plus, they’re easy-peasy to whip up when you’re last-minute-ing your party prep. One year, I didn’t make them and you would *not* believe the backlash I got (I’m still hearing about it, lol). They just hit different when you’re in spooky season mode!

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Okay, listen up—here’s the pro tip: use boiling water to dissolve the jello. Like, don’t skip this step. I tried it once with just hot water and let me tell you, it was a jiggly disaster. Boiling water makes it super smooth and gives it that perfect jiggle (you know what I mean). Just trust me on this one!

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

– Check those shots: They need to fully set. You might think, “Oh, they’re fine,” but if you pull them out early, it’s a soupy nightmare.
– Leave some space: Fill those glasses *almost* to the top. If you overdo it, just… ugh, it’s a mess everywhere.
– Candy placement: Put those eyeball candies on right before you serve. Otherwise, they’ll start to sink, and that’s just tragic.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

Okay, so if by some miracle you have leftover shots (like, how?!), just cover ‘em with plastic wrap and stick ‘em in the fridge. They’ll stay good for a few days, but let’s be real, they’ll probably be gone the same night. 😂

If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too
