Just a tiny bit of Potter-inspired jelly shotting for you today. The recipe is a variant of the Bushwacker . . . very chocolatey though and missing the coconut. (Link for the delightfully creepy frog molds . . . )
For more Potter-rific fun (and you know you want it) see:
(AND, depending on how R&D goes today, it is possible I may have one more Potter-esque jelly shot trick up my sleeve for you!)

Chocolate Frog Jelly Shots
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 envelopes Knox gelatin
- 3/8 cup vanilla ice cream, melted
- 1/2 cup chocolate liqueur
- 1/4 cup Bailey’s
- 1/4 cup vodka
- 1/8 cup amaretto
Directions:
Prepare the molds with a light application of cooking spray. Wipe the cavities clean with a paper towel. This will leave a very slight residue which will aid in unmolding without affecting taste or appearance.
Pour water in saucepan, sprinkle with gelatin. Allow gelatin to soak for a few minutes. Heat over very low heat until gelatin is dissolved, stirring constantly (approximately 5 minutes). Add the melted ice cream. Once combined, stir in vodka and the liqueurs.
Pour mixture into molds (or standard glass or non-reactive metal 1 lb loaf pan approximately 8” x 4” will work!). Refrigerate until fully set (several hours or overnight).
To unmold, fill a larger container or clean sink with warm water (not too hot!). With clean fingers, loosen the gelatin around the edges of the mold cavities. Next, dip the bottom of the mold into the warm water for just a few seconds (10 seconds worked for me). Dry the bottom of the mold with a towel and check the edges to see if they are loose, if not, repeat the dip for just a few more seconds. Place a nonstick cookie sheet on top of the mold and invert. The gelatin frogs should drop right out. Return the “frogs” to refrigerator until immediately before serving.

where did you get the great frog mold and any chance of a non-alcholic version for younger Harry Potter fans.
Hi Pawdua, here is the link to the frog molds: http://www.amazon.com/FROG-Animal-Candy-Mold-Chocolate/dp/B000EBMUNU
For a kids version, I would just use chocolate milk! 2 cups of milk, two envelopes of gelatin. Easy peasy!
Thanks for the note! XO Michelle
I am so loving these!!
SO cute!! Love these. Going to have to make some of them for tomorrow .. thanks so much :)
How creative!! You are a Jelly wizard!
I just want to say that I think a jelly shot test kitchen is a noble and much-needed pursuit.
These are great! Along with the frog mold, where did you find those wonderful little just-the-right-size dishes for them?
(Also - I made your butterbeer jelly shots for Halloween. They're fabulous.)
Hi Historia - thanks for the note - the link for the frog mold is http://www.amazon.com/FROG-Animal-Candy-Mold-Chocolate/dp/B000EBMUNU, and the tiny dishes are from Sur La Table!

What a fab website! I came across it while searching for something else frog. I am here to stay. Can't wait to try some of these out. I do have one question though, how many molds does this recipe fill because I can see there being a set up time disaster without enough molds.
Hi there: great idea!
Question: I live in the UAE and am unable to buy Knox gelatine here. Could you tell me the gram amount of each sachet so I might be able to use an alternative? Thanks!
Hi sarahjane - I had to look this up, but apparently, one envelope of Knox brand unflavored gelatin holds 0.35 ounces, or 7 grams. Let me know if that works for you, if you get a chance! XOXOX Michelle
I just made a batch following this recipe. It fills 2 of the plastic frog moulds. I also used a Wendy's chocolate frosty instead of vanilla ice cream. I plan to use frosty for the kid version too; with extra chocolate syrup!
