- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 cups cold water
- 24 gummy eyeballs or candy eyeballs
- 24 plastic shot cups (2-ounce size)

- Dissolve the Jello: In a mixing bowl, pour the Jell-O powder. Add 2 cups boiling water and whisk for 2 minutes until completely dissolved.
- Add cold water: Stir in 2 cups cold water and mix thoroughly.
- Prepare shot cups: Arrange plastic cups on a tray or baking sheet and fill each about 3/4 full with the Jello mixture.
- Chill slightly: Refrigerate for 30 minutes, until Jello is slightly thickened.
- Insert eyeballs: Gently press a gummy or candy eyeball into the center of each cup.
- Chill completely: Return to fridge and chill for 2–3 hours until fully set.
- Serve: Top with whipped cream just before serving, if desired. Keep chilled.
Notes
- Wait until Jello is slightly set before adding eyeballs so they don’t sink.
- Use green or purple Jello for different spooky themes.
- Make up to 2 days ahead and store covered in fridge.
- For an adult version, replace part of the cold water with vodka or rum.
- Top with red gel icing for extra gore!
