Wild Women's Chocolate Covered Cherry Jello Shots

Submitted by Mamas Kitchen Hope

"Made for RSC12. Can be made with sugar free or low sugar products. These jello shots can be as silly or as racy as you choose! This makes 36 jello shots that you can let each person top with the whipped cream, chocolate syrup and cherry or have them all pre-made. To keep clean up easy use disposable products and the smallest disposable cups you can find, about 1 oz or so work great. Whether taking these somewhere or not I like to place all the cups in a container for easy transfer to the refrigerator and to catch any spills before the shots set. Try the cardboard that comes under cases of drinks or a regular box - trim the sides if desired to make it more shallow. You could also use a casserole or roasting pan. Also makes it easier to transport if necessary. Cooking time does not include chilling time."

These are a great idea for flavor. I didn't like the extra unflavored gelatin. Next time I'll leave it out b/c even with the smallest amount suggested they were too firm. I substituted the Starbucks coffee liqeur as well. The flavor was great!!! Love the whipped cream and the cherry!!

I made these for our 4th of July party - they were great! One guy said they were like a little dessert treasure bite! Pretty good when even the guys like them. They were the 1st to dissapear. The other kind I made had Amaretto and they were very good also, just not as good as these were. Oh, and I put the Marischino cherry inside, and on top! Definetly a FIVE STAR!!

Made 5 different jello shots and these were the most creative and most impressive. We will be having these at a Bachelorette party this weekend and I promise to get a good photo of a shot with whipped cream and chocolate on top for you!!! I did substitute Starbucks coffee flavored liqueur for the coffee in the recipe. . .DELISH!

We were having a block party with lots of people around so I couldn't resist this recipe. They were lots of fun. I don't think of myself as the Jello shot kind of gal...these far exceeded my expectations. I could only find .3 ounce size boxes of Jello so that is what I used. I think I may have preferred leaving out the extra unflavored gelatin. I wanted the Jello to be softer like a chocolate covered cherry. Also, as pretty as the cherry was on top, it would have been easier to "shoot" if it had had been pitted and put in with the Jello mixture to set up. They had a great flavor though. I would do them again. Very nice entry.

Never in my life have I had a jello shot like this! It was different from the usual fruity jello shots I've done in the past. Of course chocolate covered cherries are one of my favorites, so I could be a little biased here. Anyway, I did half of the recipe below - its easy to make and went over well for the Packer party we had last night. Yum!!
