It goes without saying–we eat with our eyes first therefore, you’ll want to include appetizing party food. These jello shots look just like a caramel apple and always get rave reviews from my friends.
We’re just a week away from Halloween and the unofficial start of the holiday season. Last week I hosted the first holiday party of the season and I’m already looking forward to the next one.
I’ve submerged myself into butter pecan desserts, pumpkin seeds, maple cupcakes, and candy caramel making this season. Throughout it all, I’ve missed the apple season, until now!
The key to creating a fun, vibrant party favor everyone will love just involves some creativity. You’ll be the life of the party if you bring these jello shots to your next party!
No party is complete without a fun drink recipe and there is an added bonus with vodka infused caramel treats because they double as a boozy dessert.
If you’re like me and you always bring a treat to a party, then you’ll want to try these caramel apple jello shots next! The caramel flavor is out of this world–good! Plus, these jello shots are pretty easy to prepare.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to make these and it would be fun to get kids involved in a non-alcohol version. For the non-alcohol version, swap the vodka out for club soda, sparkling apple cider, or more apple cider.
