    Full steps on how to make these slimer jello shots are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a quick walk-through on how it is made. 

    Step One: The first step is to prepare the jello with the hot water. Then once the gelatin is melted add in the water or water and rum.

    How to Print the Slimmer Toppers

    1. Import the PNG image into Cricut design space.
    2. Upload it to the design board.
    3. Once imported select print and cut.
    4. Prepare your blue cutting mat.
    5. Once you print the design then place on the blue cutting mat and follow the on screen cut directions and set dial on your Cricut to light cardstock for best results.
    6. Once the image is cut then hot glue a toothpick to the back. Let dry and the toppers are ready to use.

    Storing 

    You are going to want to store your jello shots in the fridge. I recommend not adding the whipped cream on top until you are ready to serve up your shots. The whipped cream will break down after a bit.

    Common Questions 

    Can jello shots be made ahead of time?

    Jello shots can be made and stored in the fridge for 2-3 days in advance. Just don’t add the whipped topping and sprinkles on top until right before you can serve them up. 

    Do jello shots go in the fridge or freezer?

    You will want to store your Jello shots in the fridge not the freezer. If you freeze jello it will alter the texture of the jello. Some people place shots in the freezer for 30 minutes to speed up the setting up. But if you allow it to stay in the freezer too long it can ruin your shots. 

    Can I double this recipe? 

    Yes, go ahead and make as many shots as you need. Feel free to make a large batch. I find placing the jello cups on a baking sheet with a rim helps to move the jello cups from living room to fridge.
