Planning a monster-themed birthday bash? Give guests an eyeful with these creepy JELL-O shots. Mix gelatin per package instructions, and chill in fridge until cool but not set. Slice licorice allsorts in half, then arrange one per shot glass. Pour JELL-O into glasses; put in freezer until set. Store in fridge overnight. Remove from fridge just before serving.
