When it comes to these delicious shot glass-sized snacks, it’s all about portion control. Put it in a shot glass, and you’ll get a satisfying treat of the perfect size. Even though the solution to your portion control may remind you of last Saturday night, these five foods will no doubt taste better than that shot of cheap vodka with orange juice.
Cake Shots

When trying to minimize the size of your dessert, you can still have your cake and eat it, too. First, bake your favorite cake recipe. Then either use a small cookie-cutter or the shot glass itself to slice cake cylinders that will fit inside your shot glass. Try using a clear shot glass so you’ll be able to see all the layers of sponge cake and frosting! Do it with brownie and chocolate mousse shots here, or try these different variations.
Milk and Cookie Shots

These cookie shots will definitely be stealing Oreo’s title as Milk’s Favorite Cookie. What could be better than throwing back a shot of milk from the perfectly-soaked cookie that’s holding it all together? You can try baking the cups yourself (but beware; it’s harder than you’d think!), or taking to the streets of New York City, where you’re sure to see this trend taking over. Warm milk will take on a new meaning when warm from the freshly baked cookie you’ll be enjoying it with. Tempted yet? Here’s how you can make cookie shots yourself.

All you have to do is core an apple and automatically you have a tiny bowl for anything you can imagine. Inverse caramel apple anyone? Peanut butter? Marshmallow fluff? Caramel? There’s no reason to limit yourself to caramel apples when you can get creative with this sweet snack.
