These gelatin shots are the perfect mix of red hot cinnamon and sweetness! Red hot jello shots use candy red hots to make a sweetened cinnamon flavor. Check out the recipe below!
Once you make the shot mixture you’ll add it to carefully into your prepared mold trays. You might have to gently shake them a little to get them out of the mold, or you can use a butter knife or your finger to coax them out! As another option, you could also pour it into a large cake pan and let is set this way. Then, cut in into squares or other shapes after it sets.
