So, if you start discussing books with me it's not a big secret that I'm a HUGE-NORMOUS Harry Potter fan. I started the series when I was in 5th or 6th grade because my best friend and I liked to hang out in the library after school. (Go ahead and judge me... I was awesome.) So, the librarian was like, "We just got two copies in of this new book called Harry Potter..." My life has forever been changed. I wished I wasn't a Muggle so bad. I want to go to Hogwarts, I'd so fight He-who-must-not-be-named with Harry! OK... so all my nerd-dom aside (or at a new level) when I got older I also really enjoyed trying to recreate the fun foods they eat and drink in the series.
For years I bravely tried EVERY flavor of Bertie Botts Every Flavored Bean (including Vomit, Dirt, and Grass) and I would have given my last sickle to have a chocolate frog, but alas... they are always out. However, I did find a great recipe for The Three Broomstick's famous Butterbeer. It's best during the winter and it's uber sweet! (So don't give it to your kiddo's before they go to bed or you'll have them flying around like they were playing for the Quiddich World Cup.
The Three Broomstick's Butterbeer Recipe:
1 cup cream soda
1/2 cup butterscotch syrup
1/2 tablespoon butter
Redi-Whip for Topping
Directions:
1. Measure butterscotch and butter into a saucepan.
2. Cook until until syrup is bubbly and butter is completely melted
3. Remove from heat and cool for 30 seconds
4. Slowly mix in soda. Mixture will fizz quite a bit
5: Top with Redi-Whip and serve!
