I've been to midnight releases for 3 of the books.
I have 29 copies of the books (4 full sets and 1 new set to start working on).
I quote the movies, much to the annoyance to others in the room with me.
Approximately 1/2 of my brain is packed with HP facts, give or take a lobe.
And yes, I'm *that* person that leans over and whispers...
"It didn't happen like that in the book!"
So in celebration of the final movie (yes, I have midnight screening tickets!), here are 2 of the most talked about treats in the wizarding world.
Cauldron Cakes & Butterbeer
Cauldron Cakes & Butterbeer
Cauldron Cakes.
These are just my Secret Cupcakes with a chocolate Twizzler in them. Black Licorice would work too... not that anyone wants to eat those things. :oD
And the Butterbeer.
Now, I've never been to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal (gasp! I know... I'm distraught about this point), but I hear the Butterbeer is ah-maze-ing.
I have no first hand knowledge of this tasty, tasty, treat, but I did some digging on the internet and found about 600,000 recipes for Butterbeer.
Well, that might be an exaggeration. Fine, 599,999.
I found one I wanted to try, but I can never leave a recipe alone, so I tweaked it to my liking.
im going to try it tonight let you know how i like it!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG! This is my new favorite blog! Harry Potter rocks my socks! and I am SOOOOOOOOO making these this weekend when my sister and I have our Harry Potter movie marathon!! Thanks so much :D and I agree with the gazillion butterbeer recipes ;P lol
ReplyDeletethanks! :)
DeleteI've added Rum Extract as well and It made it taste alchoholic but it obviously isn't. I've never used the half and half in the mixture but I bet it's good and I would also never use a fourth of a cup of that mixture it is far too sweet. I find it better to add the sweet mixture to your taste.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, mixing to your taste is good.
DeleteA friend made this for me and I made it for my kids. The first time was a bit rich so I put a bit less of the base & more soda and it was perfect. My kids loved it. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMelissa, thanks! I think more soda is good myself. As I mentioned in the recipe, it's a bit too sweet for me. I've considered editing the recipe to reflect that.
Deletelove this post and found my soul mate. lol definitely doing this for my Potter Bday Party. f.y.i. James Potter Birthday is the same days as mine. lol
