We call this one Jingle Bell Rock. It takes a little bit more time because you have to do each layer individually but it looks pretty cool... And it's okay for taste. Not the worst I've had anyway?

Place Saran Wrap around each cup and wrap with a rubber band securely. Lay each cup horizontally in the refrigerator until the jello is set, about 2 hours. Then, remove the Saran Wrap and fill the other 1/2 of each cup with the rest of the jello/liquor liquid mix. Put each cup back into the refrigerator until completely set (You do not need to add the Saran Wrap to these). Optional: Right before serving, add a blueberry candy cane into the side of each shot.

Lastly we have the Pumpkin Pie (not a fan of pumpkin pie so I didn't even try this one sorry!)
This recipe calls for Agar Agar which is derived from two species of red algae in the Rhydophyceae family, Gelidium and Gracilaria . The powdered form is an excellent gelling agent and thickener in a variety of foods and Arrowroot powder which is an excellent thickening for delicate sauces and soups. Together they help to set the jello shot like Knox would. I saw online that 1 T. gelatin = 1 tsp. agar agar powder. However, I haven't experimented to see how much Knox it would take to make it set up right, so if you choose to take that route please let me know!
What you will need:
White layer
1 5.6 oz can of coconut milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
3 tsp Agar-agar
1/4 tsp arrowroot powder
Pumpkin layer
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
6 tsp Agar-agar
1/2 tsp arrowroot powder
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup spiced rum
Graham cracker layer
2 sheets of graham crackers
1 tbsp butter
What you will do: White Layer: Combine coconut milk, water, sugar, agar-agar, and arrowroot powder in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low setting until liquid begins to boil. Remove from heat. Pour liquid into shot glasses and refrigerate until set.
Pumpkin Layer: Combine water, sugar, agar-agar, and arrowroot powder in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low setting until liquid begins to boil. Remove from heat and stir in pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and spiced rum. Pour pumpkin layer over set white layer and refrigerate.
Graham Cracker Layer: Crush or blend graham crackers to form crumbs. Melt margarine. Combine graham cracker crumbs and margarine. Garnish each shot glass with a spoonful of graham cracker crumb mixture.
Enjoy!!!
