"Butterbeer" Jelly Shots


Potter-rific Butterbeer Jelly Shots on Wands! Alert Hogwarts!


Butterbeer Jelly Shot anyone? Yeah, I thought so ... aren't they cute?

Important serving tip - the sugar melts on these wicked quick. So either dip immediately before serving, or provide a tiny cauldron of color sugar crystals for dipping.

Also, to make these kid-friendly, just add extra creme soda and a little bit of caramel sauce in place of the hootch (a tablespoon or two, to taste - you don't want things to get sticky).
