These salted caramel Jell-O shot bites are the perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors. These dainty caramel Jell-O shots are designed to look just like the delicious [caramel taffy treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bquet-confections-caramels) you'd find at the bottom of your Halloween candy bag. To make these [boozy caramel bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-shots1), begin by making a butterscotch schnapps-infused gelatin from evaporated milk, caramel hot chocolate, water and sugar. If the coloring is a little off you can add yellow food dye to make it more light brown. Then cool the Jell-O mixture in a cake pan lined with parchment paper and slice the Jell-O into squares once cooled. Sprinkle with salt and serve. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Decadent Caramel Drinks:** Creating unique and indulgent caramel drink variations provides a disruptive innovation opportunity in the beverage industry. - **Caramel-inspired Jell-o Shots:** Introducing caramel-infused Jell-O shots with a twist offers a disruptive innovation opportunity within the confectionery market. - **Butterscotch Schnapps-infused Gelatin:** Developing innovative gelatin-based desserts infused with flavored liqueur like butterscotch schnapps presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the alcohol and dessert industries. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beverage:** The beverage industry can explore creating new caramel-based drink variations to meet the demand for unique and indulgent beverages that offer a twist on traditional flavors. - **Confectionery:** The confectionery industry can explore introducing caramel-inspired Jell-O shots to offer consumers a playful and adult twist on traditional caramel treats. - **Alcohol and Dessert:** The alcohol and dessert industries can explore the creation of innovative gelatin-based desserts infused with flavored liqueur, such as butterscotch schnapps, to provide consumers with unique and indulgent dessert options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sophisticated Jello Shots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solid-wiggles.md) - [Dirty Martini Jelly Shots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-jellies.md) - [Liqueur-Inspired Dessert Sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baileys-caramel-sauce.md) - [Unconventional RTD Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unconventional-rtd-cocktails.md) - [Sour Candy Squares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jello-candy-squares.md) - [Festive Jelly Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-cosmo-cocktail-jelly-cake.md) - [Dog-Friendly Jelly Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jelly-mixes.md) - [Soft Salty Caramel Chews](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hisoft-salted-caramel-chews.md) - [Nostalgia-Inducing Candy Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adventures-in-candy-land-cocktails.md)
