My 10 week Biggest Loser contest at work is over next Tuesday. I'm on track to win the big prize of $230. I'd celebrate my victory eating them as is! They look delicious. I'd share them with my fat friends!
ReplyDeleteI would try them in a new cupcake recipe for my boyfriend's birthday! I have always wanted to try them!
ReplyDeleteSHOT GLASS CUPCAKES!!!!
ReplyDeleteof course! What else would you do with chocolate liqueur cups?
Hmm I would make some ganache and put it in the cups and surround it with fresh berries.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your ideas! But I might also use them to make little flavored chocolate ganache cups.

I'd have a good St. Patty's day, or a good day with my friends. I'm slightly curious how chocolate tastes with certain shots.

I would put raspberry liquor in them--it is fabulous!! Had it at a winery in Wisconsin and have thought about making little chocolate cups so we could duplicate the experience. CJ
ReplyDeleteI would fill with lemon cake, top with meringue, and then put a raspberry on top... assuming I don't eat all of them beforehand!

I would make jello shot cupcakes and put the cups in the middle with jello shots in them.
ReplyDeleteThe Bailey's idea sounds amazing! I think they'd be heavenly with some chambord as well. I love some of the other ideas people have made too - so many possibilities!
ReplyDeleteI'd fill them with organic peanut butter to make hella big peanut butter cups... yummmm
ReplyDeletewaylonaussies at gmail.com
I serve them on the side of some ice cream and a warm sauce.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of frosting shots far too much. :3
ReplyDeleteBut to be perfectly honest, we'd probably get mint chocolate chip ice cream and sprinkles, and go that way. ^.^

ReplyDeletejacknbead@aol.com
I would make a nice chambord spiked chocolate mousse and pipe it into the cup, do a sprinkle of finely grated white chocolate on top place a raspberry on there to finish it off. Yum! Raspberry and chocolate and liqueur in a cup you can eat...how can you go wrong?
ReplyDeletemusesdragon@hotmail.com
If I didn't eat them plain from the box first, I would probably fill them with homemade creme de menthe ice cream for St. Patrick's Day.

If they landed in my kitchen, I'd fill them with kahlua-spiked no-bake cheesecake topped with chocolate covered espresso beans!

ReplyDeletesuqin at earthlink.net
well i am planning on making your green velvet cupcakes so i won't say that as my answer. rather, i would make a nice rich chocolate cupcake, place the cup in the middle filled with a mix of pureed strawberries, then top the entire thing with white chocolate ganache(even the top of the cup) so that it would be a play on a tuxedo strawberry.
ReplyDeleteana153@students.jwu.edu
Pfft, portion control snack. Yeah right.
ReplyDeleteI'd fill them with coffee cheesecake filling, drizzle with white chocolate, and die a happy person.
I'd fill them with fruit mixed with cottage cheese, topped with pink colored whipped cream, and a cherry.
ReplyDeletethe possibility of world fame is just a click away!! but for real, i would definitely be making the oreo cupcakes

Fill it half with chocolate raspberry mousse, top it with ganache.
ReplyDeleteAll around - some mousse and whipped cream swirls!!
I need those cups now :D
OMG, drool. I worked at Godiva and enjoyed their liqueur truffles so much. I think I'd have to find a truffle recipe and fill them with yummy goodness.
ReplyDeleteOr, failing that, I'd just gobble them all up when no one is looking.
gillianivy@live.com
I'd made a frappuccino and fill the cups with it. Or maybe even mocha cupcakes cut to the size of the cups and put inside them and then a layer of whipped cream and then a layer of the frappuccino drink.
ReplyDeleteI'd fill them with peanut butter and plop them in a chocolate cupcake!
ReplyDeleteSo many good ideas: frosting, peanut butter, or cheesecake!

I think it would be fun to make a rum flavored jello shot, regular or creamy, with agar or gelatin and a lime or coconut rum and put them inside a rumcake cupcake.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely use them as glasses for the bacon infused bourbon I plan to make alongside of some bacon brownies. (highly recommended! So much salty sweet goodness.)

ReplyDeleteDefinitely have a dinner party with an assortment of sweet shots inside- something really pretty!
ReplyDeleteThough I *love* the idea of cupcakes!

I would say that if you do the cupcakes, take normal glass shot glasses and grease them and put them in the batter, then pull it out and replace it with these.
ReplyDeleteI would make Guinness Stout cake, take pieces and roll them into cake balls. Fill the very bottom with bailey's irish cream and then plug the end with the cake ball (like a tiny ice cream cone). Dip the top in dark chocolate ganache and then a tiny swirl of chocolate mousse.
I'd make treats for friends and family! Filling w/ homemade buttercream sounds perfect. Or maybe "cheesecake" topped w/ a fresh berry.

Fill them with cake/frosting balls (ala Bakerella).
