Snickers Shot

A layered shot that tastes like Snickers! Three liqueurs come together to recreate the flavors of the classic candy bar.

If you’re a fan of dessert cocktails and shooters, you’re going to want to try this ASAP!

It’s a layered shot that has all the flavors of a Snicker’s candy bar – chocolate, nuts, and creamy nougat. While it doesn’t taste exactly like the famous candy bar, it is certainly reminiscent of it. 

It’s perfect to have with dessert or as a nightcap. I like to serve it at Halloween parties, along with caramel apple shots. 

If you’re looking for more candy and dessert type shots, I recommend trying this layered Neapolitan shot or these simple tootsie roll shots.

Ingredients

• Baileys – Irish cream brings the creaminess of nougat to this shot. 
• Frangelico– This hazelnut liqueur replicates the nut flavor of a snickers bar. 
• Kahlua – The chocolate notes of Kahlua really come through in this shot.

How To Make

1. Fill a shot glass 1/3 of the way full with Kahlua. 
2. Slowly pour hazelnut liqueur over the back of a bar spoon to layer it. 
3. Layer the Bailey’s by repeating step 2.

Variations

The most common variation I see with the Snickers shot is substituting the hazelnut liqueur for Screwball peanut butter whiskey. Since the candy bar is filled with peanuts, I think this is a great sub. 

Tips

1. Dip the rim of your shot glass in chocolate sauce and crushed peanuts for a flavorful rim. 
2. If you don’t want to layer the shot, you can simply shake all the ingredients together in a cocktail shaker. 
3. If you have extra Frangelico, try it out in a peanut butter and jelly shot in place of the whiskey.
