Boozy Jello Candy Melts 🍬🍸
A fun, creamy treat with a playful kick! These adult-friendly bites are like little shots in candy form—perfect for parties or girls’ night in. 💃✨
🛒 Ingredients:
8 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀
2 cups powdered sugar 🍥
1 packet (3 oz) flavored gelatin (Jell-O) 🍓🍍🍇
½ cup liquor of choice (vodka, rum, tequila, or flavored liqueur) 🍸
Granulated sugar (for coating) ✨
👩🍳 Instructions:
Mix the Base
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the Jello Powder
Pour in the dry gelatin mix and beat until fully incorporated. (No need to dissolve in hot water—you want the powder for flavor and color!)
Pour in the Booze
Slowly add the liquor and beat until the mixture becomes smooth and thick. It will be slightly sticky, and that’s totally fine!
Sweeten it Up
Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until a dough-like consistency forms. It should be pliable but firm enough to roll into balls.
Shape the Candies
Scoop out about a teaspoon of the mixture and roll into small balls. Roll each one in granulated sugar to coat. 💫
Chill & Set
Place the finished melts on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours until firm.
🍸 Flavor Tips:
Try cherry Jell-O + whipped cream vodka 🍒
Lime Jell-O + tequila for a candy margarita vibe 🍋
Blue raspberry + coconut rum for a tropical pop 💙🌴
📦 Storage:
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Keep chilled—these melt in your mouth and your hands! 😋
