2. Experiment with the new and different Skittles flavors to add an extra kick to your shots.

Storing and Freezing Methods

If you have leftovers, tightly cover the shot glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate. These jello shots should last for up to three days in the fridge. If you’d like to make them in advance for a party, you can freeze them. Just remove the shots from the freezer about an hour before serving to let them thaw slightly.

What To Serve With These Fun Treats

While Skittles Jello Shots are primarily a fun party dessert or cocktail, they can be paired with light finger foods. Cheese platters, fruit kabobs, or mini sliders would work perfectly. Remember, these shots are sweet, so pairing them with savory snacks can balance flavors beautifully.
