Step 1

Place 1-1/4 cups of the champagne and sugar in a sauce pan and then sprinkle gelatin on top. Let gelatin soften for about 2 minutes.

Step 2

Place saucepan over low heat and stir until gelatin has completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and add in remaining 1/4 cup of champagne and stir to combine.

Step 3

Pour mixture into a loaf pan (I used a square tupperware container) and chill for at least an hour.

Step 4

To release Jello, dip the pan into warm water and use a knife along the sides to gently release the Jello. Use a sharp knife to cut squares. Before serving, dip the tops in the sparkling sugar and serve with a festive toothpick.
