Tips & Tricks
- Go Big on Flavor Combinations โ Swap out the vodka for chocolate vodka or Irish cream to add a rich chocolate depth to your pudding shots. You can even mix two liquors for a more complex flavor.
- Make Them in Advance โ These pudding shots store well in the fridge for up to 2 days, so make them ahead for stress-free summer parties. Just wait to add the toppings until right before serving to avoid soggy graham crackers.
- Upgrade the Texture โ Want an extra fluffy texture? Fold in a cup of marshmallow fluff along with the Cool Whip to create marshmallow layers that mimic the classic gooey s’mores experience.
- Use Condiment Cups with Lids โ If you’re taking these shots to a summer barbecue or camping trip, use plastic condiment cups with lids. They stack easily in a cooler, making transportation a breeze.
- Try Dark Chocolate โ If you love dark chocolate, use a dark chocolate pudding mix instead of regular instant chocolate pudding mix for a richer, more indulgent flavor.
