Whether you are making these at home or planning to take to a party, they are refreshing and tasty every time. We aren’t sure if that’s a good or bad thing!

In all honesty I’m not a huge drinker, but I like the fru-fru kind of drinks that actually taste good. So if it tastes like candy you can definitely count me in!

These Jell-O shots can also be used for festive parties like New Year’s Eve, Halloween, and maybe even Christmas if your crowd likes to get a little rowdy. And it’s easy to change up the colors and flavors to fit the occasion.

Don’t forget the cute little containers that are usually holiday specific. For instance, at Halloween you can get the syringes, New Year’s may call for mini champagne glasses! I’ve even seen ring shaped cups for bridal parties.

Add the pink Jell-O mixture to your cups using a ladle or pouring directly out of the pot (warning: this can be messy!).

Now, place the filled cups in the fridge until they have set up. This can take 2-4 hours.

Once they’re ready, garnish them with pink Starbursts before serving.
