Well start with the best and work our way down to the failures.

Luckily, they did not, and beat out all others for the number one spot.

I then coated the insides with tempered chocolate, and let them set until the chocolate hardened.

Lets see how they did:

Do they leak?No.

If you thoroughly coat the insides with chocolate, these things will hold your booze with ease.

Are they annoying to make?Nope!

Do they contribute any flavor?That depends on how quickly you shoot them.

Do they look cute?Cute is kind of a stretch.

They certainly look novel though, which is almost as good.

Do I actually want to eat the shot glass?Yup.

Chocolate covered bacon is actually a nice little bite after a shot.

If you like bacon, chocolate, and bourbon, you will like these.

In short, they are totally worth your time.

(Well get to the mod in a moment.)

Once they were cool, they wiggled right out.

Now, at this point, Oh, Bite It!

instructs us to dip the rims into icing and throw some Baileys in there.

Once the chocolate set, I dipped the rims in the icing, and filled them with booze.

I used Grand Marnier, but horchata liqueur or the suggested Baileys would be pretty freaking tasty too.

Do they leak?Not if you coat them with some sort of melted candy.

Are they annoying to make?Not in the slightest.

Do they look cute?Yesssss.

Do I actually want to eat the shot glass?A thousand times yes.

If you want to do shots at brunch, these are your guys.

Id serve them at some sort of shower (baby or wedding), or a morning football game.

Cucumber shot glasses only require a little bit of knife work, plus some delicate scooping.

(Gin would obviously be a great choice here too.)

Do they leak?Eventually, yes.

Do they contribute any flavor?Not really.

Do they look cute?That depends on how adorable you think cukes are.

Do I actually want to eat the shot glass?Maybe with ranch.

I then filled it with more of that cherry bourbon.

Do they leak?Nope!

Are they annoying to make?No, but theyre slightly dangerous to make.

You have to watch them in the oven very carefully, because theywillburn.

There is also a chance you will burn your fingers or cut yourself on the sugar.

(I managed to do both.)

Do they contribute any flavor?Yes, sweet candy flavor.

Do they look cute?They are quite pretty, yes.

Do I actually want to eat the shot glass?Not really.

Though I enjoyed making these, I wouldnt make them again.

It takes a lot of Jolly Ranchers (10 per glass) and is slightly painful.

Theyre not difficult to make, exactly, but you have to be pretty delicate in your scooping.

Just slice off both rounded ends and scoop out the seedy flesh.

Do not peel them first, as that will cause the whole kiwi to kind of mush out.

Fill it with rum or something.

Do they leak?Nope!

I let them sit there for a whole half hour and they never leaked.

Are they annoying to make?Kind of.

Its super easy to scoop too much and have it all come crashing down.

Do they contribute any flavor?Yes.

Do they look cute?No.

The golden ones kind of look like potatoes.

The green ones are cuter, but still slightly scrotal looking, with the fuzz and all.

Do I actually want to eat the shot glass?No.

The best part of the kiwi is scooped out.

Do they leak?Yes.

Are they annoying to make?Yes.

Do they contribute any flavor?Not really, as you have to shoot them before they start leaking.

Do they look cute?Yeah.

Do I actually want to eat the shot glass?Sure.

Strawberries are pretty good.

I give this one a resounding EH.

The Failure: Toasted Marshmallow Shot Glasses

This one just didnt work.

Im not going to even bother answering the usual questions.

Then you are supposed to fill that hole with booze.

There are two major problems with this, however.

Are they annoying to make?Yes.

Actually, they are almost impossible to make.

Do they contribute any flavor?If you count the salty tears of failure, yes.

Do they look cute?No.

Do I actually want to eat the shot glass?Well.

Even though its a mangled leaky mess of a Snickers bar, its still a Snickers bar.

That was a lot of gimmicky nonsense, you guys, but I think we learned a lot.
