Jennie’s Thoughts
Banana and chocolate is one of those flavor combinations that just works. The banana pudding base keeps these shots creamy and smooth, and the Oreo pieces give them that classic cookies-and-cream texture.
I personally love using RumChata when I want them a little richer and more dessert-like, but vanilla vodka keeps the banana flavor brighter. Either way, they disappear fast at parties.
