Caramel Apple Jell-O® Shots

Ingredients

10 small Granny Smith apples

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or as needed

1 (1 ounce) envelope instant caramel-flavored hot chocolate mix (such as Land O Lakes® Cocoa Classics®)

½ cup boiling water

½ cup coconut milk

1 (.25 ounce) package gelatin (such as Knox ®)

¼ cup white sugar

2 drops yellow food coloring

½ cup butterscotch schnapps

Directions

Step 1

Halve apples cutting them from the stem down. Use a melon baller to hollow the apples, leaving enough flesh for the shells to hold their form. Squeeze lemon juice over the apples to reduce browning; arrange onto a baking sheet.

Step 2

Stir hot chocolate into boiling water in a saucepan off heat until smooth. Stir coconut milk into the cocoa mixture. Sprinkle gelatin over the cocoa mixture and leave undisturbed 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 3

Place saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir gelatin into the cocoa mixture. Add sugar; stir to dissolve sugar into the mixture. Drop yellow food coloring into the mixture. Remove saucepan from heat and cool mixture slightly.

Step 4

Pour cocoa mixture into the apple shells. Refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.

Step 5

Cut each apple half into 4 wedges; serve immediately.
