I’ve mentioned numerous times that I am not much of drinker. After about an ounce of liquor, I get all flushed and start talking way too much. However, even though I’m not a huge fan of getting my drink on – my friends are.
My BFF, Brittani turns 35 tomorrow, so I teamed up with a group of friends to throw her a surprise party last weekend. At some point during the party planning, someone mentioned pudding shots, but the task was never really delegated to anyone in particular. And since I’m a crazy overachiever, I decided to add them to my party to-do list on top of Greek Pasta Salad, Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes, and Queso Blanco.
While strolling through Kroger, I came across mini, plastic shot glasses and spoons in the paper plate aisle. I’ve only had pudding/jello shots a couple of times since I typically refrain from awkward eating situations that force you to use your mouth to remove jiggly things from little cups, so I thought the spoons were quite genius!
When thinking of flavor combinations, I thought S’mores Pudding Shots would be perfect for our casual, outdoor party – plus, I had half a bottle of Fluffed Marshmallow Vodka that we haven’t touched since I made S’mores Truffles.
Pudding shots couldn’t be easier and they can be dressed up as seen in the photographs, or simply piped into mini plastic cups for a casual backyard barbeque. Chocolate pudding mix combines with milk, Fluffed Marshmallow Vodka and Cool Whip to create a fun, simple and boozy sweet treat that’s sure to be the hit at any party.
Regardless of how you serve this adult spin on the campfire classic, make sure you let your guests know that they contain alcohol – because they’re so incredibly delicious one could easily overindulge.
S'mores Pudding Shots
Yield: 8-10 servings (see notes section)
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
3/4 cup 2% milk
1/2 cup Fluffed Marshmallow Vodka
8 ounces extra Cool Whip1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup Marshmallow Fluff
1 Hershey's Milk Chocolate BarDirections:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and milk until thick and smooth. Add in the vodka whisking until the mixture is free of lumps and well-combined. Fold in the Cool Whip and mix until no white streaks are visible. Set Aside.
2. Spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons of graham cracker crumbs into the bottom of each mini cordial glass.
3. Place the pudding mixture into a piping bag fitted with a round tip such as the Wilton 1A or simply snip the corner of a zip top bag. Pipe the pudding mixture using a swirl motion into each glass stopping about 1/2 inch before the rim of glass.
4. Spoon or pipe (I used a medium French tip) the Marshmallow Fluff directly onto the pudding mixture. If desired, use a kitchen torch to carefully brown the Marshmallow Fluff and garnish with a piece of the Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar.
Notes:
- Mini Cordial Glasses are from Pier 1 Imports, the spoons are from Ikea.
- Using the Mini Cordial Glasses seen above will yield 8-10 servings.
- If you want to yield more servings, I would suggest using smaller shot glasses such as these plastic ones. By using the 1.75 ounce glasses, you'll end up with about 20 shots. I picked mine up from Kroger in the paper plate aisle.

Holy yum. I’m not much of a drinker, but “fluffed marshmallow vodka” seems like code for “heaven.” Thanks for sharing.
I’ve been looking for a reason to buy marshmallow vodka, and here it is! These look delicious!!
Brilliant! I have the marshmallow vodka sitting in my cabinet as well! What a great and tasty way to use it! Excellent presentation on these! Now I need the kitchen torch!!!! Hehe can’t wait!
I saw this vodka at the store and I was intrigued! These look like the perfect summer drink!
I will definitely be making these for my girl friends! They will be such a big hit for sure.
You are a better woman than I; there is NO WAY a bottle of Fluffed Marshmallow Vodka would have lasted 6 months at my house. 6 minutes, maybe.
These pudding shots look and sound OUTSTANDING!! Thanks for adding another “Must Make” to my list!!
I have come to the conclusion that you are trying to kill me! Seriously this looks incredible and I’m all over it. Thanks for all the great recipes!
I can’t even begin to express how much I want these!
hi… this might be a little funy to ask, but is it possible to make this without the vodka ?… can you suggest any substitution for the alcohol ?
Never heard of marshmellow fluff vodka but Id love to try it! These look yum!
I’m not much of a drinker either, but man all these flavored vodkas sound AMAZING!! These look so fun Jamie!
Love this! Real s’mores for the kids and s’mores shots for the adults! Everyone is happy
And I love your blog by the way… just discovered it yesterday!
Love the presentation!
I’ve been admiring these since I saw your post on Punchfork! I have little grappa glasses that would work perfectly! Amazing idea and recipe.
Now I have a reason to finally try fluffed marshmallow vodka. I love these!
Gorgeous, Jamie! I need to make these soon!
These look amazing! I just discovered s’mores vodka at the liquor store the other day, and I’m thinking these would be totally awesome made with that!!
These look so good, and I love the toasted top. Perfection!
How divine. I pinned it. My grandkids will go nuts when I make this for them….and no doubt everyone else will as well.
I don’t know how old your grandkids are, but there is alcohol in this…
Who needs to go camping when you can make these!
Good grief amighty! Forget the bathing suit this summer I’m going to need new pants. Yum-o!
I dont drink…ever. But looking at this recipe, I will bet a million bucks that if I substituted the vodka for Kahlua Coffee Liqueur, I bet it would be fantastic and I would definitely have at least one.
These is absolutely fantastic!
they sell the fluffed marshmallow vodka at walmart .. just bought a bottle today.
We made these for my mom’s birthday party, and they were a HUGE hit! We toasted a bunch of large marshmallows in the broiler to pop in the tops of the shot glasses.
Thanks so much for this recipe!
Has anyone used the smores vodka for this instead of the marshmallow vodka ?
Michelle-
I have not tried this; however, if you do, stop back and let us know how it is. Thanks and have a great day!
