preview for Sour Patch Kids Jell-O Shots Are The Best Way To Get Tipsy

First they're sour, then they're sweet, then they're boozy. If you love Sour Patch Kids as much as we do (we'll never get over our Sour Patch grapes), then this grown-up version of your favorite candy should be a must-have at any celebration. To create these shots, we're using different flavors of packaged Jell-O, vodka, and of course, Sour Patch Kids. They're a little sweet, a little sour, and a whole lot of fun.

Like any Jell-O shot, these are going to need some time to set, so make sure to schedule that into your party planning schedule. Once they've set, I like to top them with Cool Whip and even more candy, along with colorful sanding sugar for the ultimate sweet shot.
