Don't get too excited, this particular shot contains no alcohol, but it might still make you feel good! Grace Wells, who's the editor of Betty Crocker Tiny Bites told Tonia's Kitchen about their Dark Chocolate-Raspberry Trifle Shooters. She says it's part of a trend of small plates that are taking the cooking world by storm. Wells told Tonia the dessert is a very elegant one, but very easy to make as well. Looking at the ingredients list, I'd bet you'd agree on both counts.
