It will be perfect for the men and ladies attending to enjoy a few shots.
And when the servings are so tiny, you know what they say, its basically calorie free. So, you can just have a few instead of a cocktail. Also, it’s a perfect idea to make it in a few flavors so people can choose from. Similarly, these are perfectly portioned, won’t get you full so you have room to try other things.
You can spice these milk chocolate mousse shots up with some booze. However, if you plan on serving them to children, just divide the batter in half, and leave one half alcohol free. These are particularly good flavored with some Godiva or Baileys liqueur. I like them with the Chocolate Cherry Baileys, it adds such a nice aroma!
