Malibu Jell-O Shots {Parent Party Time!}

When I had Mason’s birthday party I figured that there should really be a shot of rum! Pirates drank lots and lots of rum, and with 10 toddlers running around the house the parents would need to drink some too!

I don’t drink often but when I do I love Malibu and cranberry juice, so when I found a Jell-O shot recipe that used Malibu I was all in!

YOU WILL NEED:

• Jell-O (tropical flavors work best)
• Water
• Malibu Rum
• Dixie cups or soufflé cups

I found these plastic soufflé cups with lids at Wal-Mart!

Then you boil 1 cup of water. After it has come to a boil, mix it with one cup of Malibu and the packet of Jell-O.

Each box made about 12 soufflé cups. When you filled them up place them in the refrigerator for 4 hours or more!

Since filling the small soufflé cups wasn’t the easiest thing in the world – I used a medicine dropper thingy.

Pirate Party Preparations {Part 3}

This is the last preparation post before the actual party! Party is in 5 days and I am not stressing because I started preparing WAY in advance. Don’t ask me how I feel Thursday night though – I will probably be a stressed out mess! Luckily I work today and tomorrow but have the rest of the week off. Wednesday and Thursday you will find me in the kitchen baking! (Cake pops, cookies on a stick, death by chocolate – I can’t wait to share the recipes!)

This weekend I put together the dessert table area..here are a few sneak peaks! Sorry that these aren’t the best photos – it was late!

I sewed ruffle streamers (thanks to instructions from MADE) and help from my Wyatt.

(Yes that is dirty laundry in the background and my vintage sewing machine! LOL!)

I made rock candy which will be ‘Rubies’ for the dessert table.

Made ‘Shot o’ Rum’ for the adults. I CAN NOT wait to share this recipe! You are in for a surprise on this jello shot!

and I finished up the favor bags! They include:

• Rolos (Gold Nuggets)
• Compass
• Blow Favor
• Swedish Fish (Shark Bait)
• Red water bottle
• Ring Pop

It was a busy weekend!

Enjoy,
