My Jello shots are not setting, what did I do wrong?

Do I have to use a mold or cup for Jello shots?

Accepted Answer

Yes, small pieces of fruit or a flavored liqueur can add an extra touch to your Jello shots. Just ensure that the mix-ins are appropriately sized and not too abundant to allow the shots to set properly.
