How to Make Peanut Butter Cup Pudding Shots
Step 1: Prepare the Shot Glasses
Spoon a little chocolate sauce into each shot glass.
Use the back of a spoon to smear the chocolate around the inside of the glass. This gives you that “peanut butter cup” chocolate shell effect in every bite.
Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter Pudding
In a mixing bowl, whisk together:
- vanilla pudding mix
- cold milk
- vanilla vodka
Whisk for about 2 minutes until it begins to thicken.
Add the peanut butter and mix until smooth and fully combined.
Fold in the whipped topping until creamy and fluffy.
Step 3: Fill the Cups
Spoon or pipe the peanut butter pudding mixture into the chocolate-lined shot glasses.
Fill almost to the top.
Step 4: Chill
Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours until firm and set.
Serve chilled.
