These Chocolate Pudding Shooters taste so yummy! I love the way the peppermint shooters taste with chocolate pudding. They are fun to serve at a party.
I found some fun Candy Cane Shot Glasses they other day. For a buck a piece, I thought they would be fun for the blog. I put a couple into my basket and kept on shopping with no plan in mind. When I got home and looked at them, I still had no plan and really didn’t know what to do with them.
Fill them with Vodka? Sure… I could do that, but I didn’t think that would exactly go over too well here.
I could fill them with mousse or whipped cream, but I saw a lonely box of instant pudding in the back of my cupboard and thought that would be a fast and easy (not to mention delicious) filling for these shooters. Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? I’ve picked up a few things here and there and I admit that I was out on Thanksgiving night at Kohl’s.
Now, before you get upset about me shopping on Thanksgiving night, let me explain… I was at my in-laws for dinner which is 90 minutes drive from my house. My husband was working and making double time and my daughter stayed at Grandma’s house for a sleepover. I was headed home alone at 11pm. I live in a small-ish rural town. There’s a Wal-Mart and Home Depot and Kohl’s. No Target, no Best Buy, no mall. So, I figured since they opened at 6, most people would have come and gone by then, and I was right. There was no line, no issues, and absolutely no silly shoppers. It was the best Black Friday shopping I’ve ever done.
I can’t say that I found any amazing deals to write about, just stuff on sale that my daughter, husband, and friend would like. And of course, I picked up a few new sweaters for myself. A sale is a sale and when you get a $40 sweater for $10 you can’t just walk away. Plus the bonus bucks! I scored $60 in bonus bucks. That totally made my day.
So, did you venture out on Black Friday or splurge on Cyber Monday? I know some crazy proactive people who are done shopping. And some of my FB fans shared that they are already done wrapping the gifts as well. Oh my… I wish I were that prepared.
These Chocolate Pudding Shooters taste so yummy! I love the mix of chocolate and peppermint together, especially during the holiday season. These are incredibly easy and quick to make.

Ingredients
Candy Cane Shot Glasses
Chocolate Pudding Mix
Whipped Cream
Red Food Coloring
Red Candy
Instructions
Unwrap the candy cane shot glasses.
I suggest reducing the amount of milk to 1 3/4 cups to make the pudding just a bit thicker.
Prepare a piping bag with an open star tip and add four lines of red food coloring to the inside of a piping bag. Add in the whipped cream.
Transfer the chocolate pudding to another piping bag or baggie, and fill the candy cane shot glasses.
Top with some whipped cream and add a candy to the top. A peppermint starlight would make a great topper!
*Note, only fill the cups when you are ready to serve them. The candy cane shot glasses did start to dissolve within 30 minutes of them being filled.
