Halloween Hot Chocolate (Liquid Candy)

October 30, 2012 by The Runaway Spoon 1 Comment

I see lots of recipe for using up leftover Halloween candy.  I’m not sure I see the point, as just eating it straight is generally fine with me.  Mind you, not in one sitting, but over time, stashed in drawers and cabinets.  But I do want to make my contribution with this creamy, rich hot chocolate.  Make it as soon as the little monsters come in from the trick-or-treating … [Read more...] about Halloween Hot Chocolate (Liquid Candy)

Melon Rosé Sangria

Pink and pretty and refreshing.  Okay, a little girly.

I was in a very fancy grocery store and saw a lovely, beautifully wrapped box of hot chocolate-on-a-stick.  My first thought was “I can do that.”  And those babies with their cellophane and ribbon and fancy label were selling for $10 apiece.  Yea, I can do much better than that. These pops are basically block of chocolate ganache on a stick.  You can flavor … [Read more...] about Hot Chocolate Pops

I always think it’s nice to start off the Thanksgiving celebrations with a special cocktail and a few nibbles.  It sets a convivial mood and keeps everyone occupied while the last touches of the meal are being tended too.  Frankly, I like to have everyone’s hands busy while I am trying to get the food on the table so they stay out of my way! This lovely little tipple is … [Read more...] about Rosemary Pear Martini

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
