Candy corn is the quintessential Halloween candy, which is why candy corn Jell-O shots are necessary for your Halloween celebration. These are perfect for parties, kickbacks, and binge-watching Halloweentown reruns. Though candy corn tastes like pure sugar to me, I've reimagined it for this recipe with orange Jell-O and whipped cream flavors. 

If you prefer Jell-O to Jell-O shots, you can substitute the 3/4 cup of cold vodka for cold water. You can also use plastic shot glasses instead of lemon peels if you're strapped for time.
