Jack Skellington Jello Shot Ingredients
These tasty Nightmare before Christmas shots are easy to make.
These are actually the third type of jello shot I’ve made with condensed milk (the other ones are my Candy Cane Jello Shots and my White Jello Shots With Condensed Milk.
White jello shots are versatile and perfect for adding a creepy, ghost-like flair to your Halloween party.
They are also really easy to make.
Here’s what you need:
- 2 packets knox clear gelatin
- Sweetened condensed milk
- White rum
- Oreo cookies
- 1 bag Ghirardelli’s white chocolate or white chocolate chips
- 7 popsicle sticks
- Wilton black sparkle gel
- Water
I used the larger 5.5 oz jello cups for my recipe but you can also use the smaller ones.
Directions For Making Jack Skellington Jello Shots
In a bowl, sprinkle 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin into 1/2 cup cold water and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
After the gelatin blooms (it will look mostly dissolved and get wrinkly on the surface), add 1 cup boiling water and 1/2 cup rum (replace with water if you want non alcoholic); stir to dissolve.
Add the can of condensed milk and stir to combine.
Pour into the cups and refrigerate overnight or for at least 3 hours.
Melt chocolate as directed on the bag. Dip Oreos into the chocolate and place on a sheet of parchment paper on a baking pan. Make sure to stick the sticks behind them so they stick to it.
Place in fridge for 10 minutes till the chocolate dries.
Draw on the face of Jack Skellington on the Oreo with the black glitter gel.
Place back in freeze until ready to serve.
When ready to serve place the sticks into the jello and serve cold!
