Here's a throwback recipe that was one of my FAVORITES last Fall! I share this all the time at my parties and even make a batch when I'm in the mood for something sweet...which lets be honest, is pretty much ALL the time.
Shooters, eh??

No no, this is non-alcoholic related
but I promise you these are just as fun and delicious!
Feel free to add alcohol though.
I won't judge.

These pumpkin shooters are the most delicious little treats ever and, if you're better a layering the cups than I am {sigh}, these might just turn out to be the perfect mini desserts your Fall party was lacking. Lucky for you they're only 138 calories for the entire glass!
You can't beat that.
Plus they take little to no effort to throw together {shh just don't tell your guests} and are super quick to make, no baking required! I wasn't sure how I would like the combination of pumpkin and vanilla when I first read this recipe, but to be honest it was really tasty. Next time I might play around with a pie using the same flavors. Oh and if you don't like gingersnap cookies as topping, feel free to substitute with graham crackers.

These shooters are so cute and creative! Love them for a fall girl's night in!
OMG! Just made these and they are AMAZING! I used 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice in place of cloves & ginger because I didn't have any on hand.
Just made these for dinner tonight! Tastes just like a pumpkin pie! Yum!
