Smiles on a random weeknight.
Ben and I made these Bourbon Pumpkin Pie Milkshakes from Jessica at How Sweet It is. This girl is a fellow ‘burgher and has an awesome blog full of amazing looking recipes. These were darn tasty and very rich. I could have went for slightly more spice but the general idea of adding bourbon to a milkshake is life changing.
After the milkshakes, I went a little bourbon crazy and also made the Salted Brown Butter Bourbon Rice Krispy Treats from last week’s Post Gazette. I took them to a party and people kind of went nuts for them. The novelty of bourbon in a childhood snack pretty much had everyone talking about and trying the treats. I would definitely make these again, possibly adding a little bit more than six cups of rice krispies – mine were a little overly gooey.
I also enjoyed a nice bourbon and coke while dressed up as Wonder Woman for Halloween. I might be bourboned-out for a bit. I’ll be back though.
Those look delish!!
I’ve gotta tell ya that just reading about the pumpkin pie milkshake caused a little mouth watering to occur……even at six in the morning. I’m a sucker for pumpkin pie ice cream and I can only imagine the great taste of bourbon in a PP milkshake. I think a milk shake station with a variety of flavors and “special ingredients” would be a perfect addition to a Thanksgiving get together………think about the possibilities.
