Candy Apple Jello Shots

Steps

• 1

  Pour water into a medium-sized sauce pan. Add cherry-flavored gelatin and stir until combined. Sprinkle 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin on top. Let sit for a minute or so to let the gelatin activate. Turn on medium heat and whisk to combine.
• 2

  When gelatin is dissolved and water is slightly steaming (not boiling), remove from heat.
• 3

  Add 1.5 cups cinnamon schnapps or Fireball™ whiskey and pour into a lightly greased 9x13-inch pan. Place in the refrigerator 3 hours or until completely firm.
• 4

  When completely set, use an apple-shaped cookie or fondant cutter to cut out 24 apples. If using a heart-shaped cookie or fondant cutter, gently squeeze the cutter and mold it to look more like the fruit than a heart. Gently lift out each apple with your hands or a mini spatula (carefully, so you don’t break the gelatin).
• 5

  Slice your mint leaves into smaller leaves so they look like stems. Arrange on top of apples and refrigerate until time to serve.
