Easy Dessert Recipes: Jello Shot Recipes, Pop Rocks Jell-O Shots
No offense to your French onion dip, but I think I heard the hostess mutter, "Lipton? Again?" the last time you rolled into a party. If you want to wow the crowd, skip the soup packet dip and show up with these Pop Rocks Jell-O Shots instead. They're almost as easy to make {Just four ingredients! }, but they're way more impressive. Plan to be invited back.
BUBBLY POP SHOTS
Makes about 2 dozen
3 envelopes unflavored gelatin>
2 cups sparkling wine, preferably prosecco>
3 tablespoons granulated sugar>
3 packets of Pop Rocks candy
In a small saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin over 1 cup of the prosecco and let stand for 2 minutes.
Turn heat on low, add the sugar, and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining prosecco. Cool to room temperature.
Transfer gelatin mixture into a loaf pan lined with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours, or until the gelatin sets.
Carefully lift the plastic wrap out of the pan, place the gelatin on a flat surface, and cut into triangles or cubes. Just before serving, sprinkle with Pop Rocks.
