Ah, Halloween. The candy. The costumes. The annual dusting off of Hocus Pocus on VHS. All situations demanding of your attention, sure–but what about those subtle dangers you never consider until too late?

Are these party snacks seasonal enough?

What if I can’t get drunk?

Am I in danger of scurvy?  

My friends, I have your solution, neatly wrapped up into bite-sized pieces of vodka-soaked nostalgia. Gather ’round and witness the Caramel Apple Jello Shot.

Bam.

If you’ve ever made “regular” Jello shots (if anything so brilliant could be called “regular”), these aren’t much different. Use an apple in place of the shot glass, and a God-ordained chocolate-caramel-alcohol-gelatin mixture in place of the Jello (see also this butterscotch schnapps version). Set, slice, serve, voila. People are all, “OMG candy apples for adults! You’re the best party host ever!” And you’re like, “Yeah, whatever, leave your tips at the door.”

While the 22 steps make these awesome alcoholic treats a little tedious, the end result can’t be anything but worth it. And it gives you ~40 shots, so if you’re feeling frustrated after all that work, you’ve got plenty to fall back on. Congratulations, you. Who knew preventing vitamin deficiency could be so boozy? I mean easy. Yeah. Easy.

While the first two are happily combined, the third tends to get in the way, since it turns out the average reader is uninterested in sleep blogs. She also enjoys coffee, probably too much, if there is such a thing.
