These Jello Ghosts are artificial dye free, easy to make, and super fun!
I made these kid friendly because I knew my kids would be obsessed with these cuties, but you can totally turn these into ghost Jell-O shots, too! I used THESE molds!
They’re low sugar, too! I used no sugar added lemonade with a pinch of matcha powder.
You can make these any color you’d like with the juice you prefer!
My kids would prefer bright pink, whether you call that a Halloween color or not!

Variations for Dietary Preferences
- Gelatin – I have not tried myself, but agar agar is a vegan substitue for gelatin. However, you will need much less. You will only need 1 – 2 teaspoons of agar agar
- Lemonade – You can use any juice you’d like to achieve the color are seeking! Strawberry juice for red, orange juice for orange, etc.
