MADE-FROM-SCRATCH ALCOHOLIC GUMMIES FOR HALLOWEEN

One thing I really like about this homemade drunken gummies recipe is that there is no overpowering taste of alcohol or overwhelmingly sweet fruit flavor. Instead, you get a hint of pleasantly sweet grape which is quickly followed by a tantalizing bite of vodka. it’s the perfect balance of both.

I also like that these gummies come out a bit firmer and a lot less slimy than the ones you soak! Plus, I think they taste a lot better than the other kind.

Remember, this terrifyingly tasty no-bake Halloween drunken gummies recipe is for ADULTS ONLY. So be sure to keep these ghoulish gummies out-of-sight and out-of-reach from your little ghosts, ghouls, and goblins so they don’t mistake them for candy.

That’s because this recipe doesn’t involve any soaking as the gummies are made from scratch. But don’t let that scare you! These Halloween Drunken Gummies are so easy to make, it’s eerie.

KITCHEN TOOLS YOU MAY NEED

To make these alcoholic gummies you will need just a few easy-to-find supplies. In fact, the only “special” equipment you will need are the molds.

Pro Tip: Use a dropper to fill the molds. It is SO much quicker, easier, and cleaner! I used an old medicine dropper I had and it worked perfectly.

• brain molds – I got mine from Walmart, but Amazon has a pretty good selection, too.
• dropper (optional but makes it SO much easier and cleaner)
• small saucepan
• whisk

VODKA GUMMY BRAINS INGREDIENTS

With just three basic ingredients you can have some adult Halloween candy that’ll make you scream with delight!

• Knox gelatin

EASY VODKA HALLOWEEN GUMMIES RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

Making these homemade alcoholic gummies couldn’t be easier. In just a few quick steps your spooky Halloween treats will be ready to put in the fridge so they can set. A couple of hours later and they’ll be ready to enjoy!

STEP ONE: WHISK

• Whisk together the vodka, gelatin, and Jello, and gelatin.

STEP TWO: HEAT

• Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the Jello and gelatin are gelatin are completely dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling. Do not bring allow it to boil as boiling will cook the alcohol out!

STEP THREE: FILL MOLDS

• Remove from heat and use an eyedropper to quickly fill each mold with the mixture. Make sure you fill each mold to the very top.

STEP FOUR: ALLOW TO SET

• Place the molds in the fridge to set, usually about 2-3 hours.

Once the brain gummies have set, simply pop them out of the molds then serve.

PRO TIP – if your molds are not the non-stick kind, add a teeny tiny amount of butter or oil to a paper towel or napkin and then lightly grease each mold. This will make removing the vodka gummy brains a breeze.

HOW TO SERVE BOOZY GUMMY BRAINS

There are lots of creative ways you can serve these Halloween boozy gummy brains. Some ideas include:

• serve gummies in individual shot glasses so everyone can grab a “shot” worth of gummy brains!
• place a bit of toasted coconut in the bottom of a small bowl or ramekin and lay some gummy brains on top
• lay out gummy brains on a spooky Halloween-themed dish along with a small cup of toothpicks or spoons next to the serving dish to keep things sanitary.

When serving, keep in mind that these alcoholic gummies can be a bit tacky and will likely stick together.

HOW LONG WILL VODKA GUMMIES LAST?

Vodka gummies will usually last three to four days. After a few days, these Vodka Gummy Brains will begin to dry out and shrivel up. Keep them fresh longer by storing them properly.

HOW TO STORE HOMEMADE BOOZY GUMMY BRAINS

Alcoholic Gummy Brains should be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge until you are ready to serve them.

Do not leave them sitting out at room temperature for a long period of time or they will slowly ‘melt’ and become a frightful, sticky, gooey mess.

Beware! These Halloween Boozy Gummy Brains are petrifyingly potent. They are pretty much pure alcohol since no other liquid goes into making them. Plus, they are so terrifyingly tasty, it’s easy to eat a bunch before you realize it!

As with any drink or food item that contains alcohol, moderation is advisable. Sop please drink…errr…eat responsibly!

BOOZY GUMMY BRAINS VARIATIONS

These alcoholic Gummy Brains are not only eerily easy to make they are also simple to customize. You can make them in any flavor, color, and shape you want! Do a little mad scientist experimenting!

For example, you could use flavored vodka or another type of alcohol such as rum. You could also switch up the flavor of Jello, too. For example, limoncello gummies sound amazing! Or limoncello mixed with with raspberry Jello! Or how about blueberry flavored Jello with vanilla vodka? The sky’s the limit!

This recipe also makes it a breeze to make as large or as small of a batch as you want.
