YUP Jell-O shots! Although Jim and I are far past the Jell-O shot time of our life, it does not mean that we won’t make them, share them, and sit back and enjoy everyone else partaking in them!
I found this recipe on THE CHEW. You all know by now I am a serious foodie and I just love the show but I have to DVR it as I am at work during showtime. This particular day when I was watching it after work, Jim happened to be home and was with me watching as Daphne Oz made these. Jim said we should make some for an upcoming party that we were going to. I thought it would be fun to make and fun to serve as they look so darn adorable!
I will be honest Jim and I DID NOT try these but we know they pack a punch by watching the reactions from those who did! I think they are a little surprising as they look cute and SWEET but in fact they packed a PUNCH according to the MANY party going taste testers!

Combine with the Jello mixture. Pour into lime halves and put in the refrigerator to set about 6 hours. Mix salt, sugar and limes zest together. With a VERY SHARP knife cut the lime halves in half.
To serve, dip the lime wedges into the salt/sugar mixture and…
