Halloween Treats for Adults

I love the post on here that reminds us that Halloween is for everyone. No one should ever be left out, no matter their state or age. This rings true for mom and dad, though, too. After you have performed your amazing parenting duties of making sure your little ones have had a night to remember, it’s your turn to sit back with a silly, scary movie and a treat all your own! Not a parent? So what! You should be celebrating Halloween, too! Kick back and get a little bit festive with one of these scrumptious, adult treats!

How about a Spiked Apple Cider Float?

This sinfully delicious treat will make it fun to curl up on the couch under a blanket while watching your flick. Start by making cinnamon simple syrup (and I promise it’s the most work that you’ll do for the recipe):

For the syrup you’ll need: ¼ cup water, ¼ cup granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 cinnamon stick. Combine them all in a small saucepan, place over a medium-high heat, and cook/stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once it has, turn off the heat and let your syrup cool… not too difficult!

Now for your float! You’ll need:

-2 cups apple cider

-¼ cup cinnamon syrup that you just made

-¼ cup apple schnapps

-2 tablespoons bourbon

-5-6 scoops vanilla ice cream

First, if you want, chill your mugs in the freezer for about an hour. Then put 2 to 3 scoops of ice cream per mug. In a pitch, combine your apple cider, syrup, apple schnapps, and bourbon. Stir/shake it together well. Pour over your ice cream and enjoy!

Apple cider not doing it for you? How about a Bourbon Pumpkin Pie Milkshake, instead?!

First, grab your blender and your ingredients:

-2 cups vanilla ice cream

-1/2 cup milk

-1/4 cream or half and half

-1 teaspoon vanilla extract

-2/3 cup pumpkin puree

-1/2 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

-½ graham cracker crumbs

-3 ounces Bourbon

-Frosting and sprinkles to rim your glasses (optional)

Simple combine all ingredients (except frosting and sprinkles) in blender and mix until smooth. Rim your glasses in frosting and then dip them in festive sprinkles. Pour and enjoy!
