Harry Potter

In Honor of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 and Pottermore, I made butterbeer and snitch cookies for the occasion! 
The butterbeer was the best! I am generally not a fan of cream soda but the butterscotch really and whipped cream really helped bring the whole thing together! I found this recipe on mugglenet.com, so I cannot take the credit for the awesome creation.
After visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Cici and her chef father decided to try to simulate the butterbeer as close as they could. Looks like they got it pretty close! Great job Cici!

Ingredients:
  • 2 12-ounce bottles of Cream Soda (not diet)
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons Butterscotch Sundae Topping Syrup
  • 1/2 cup Reddi Whip Canned Whip Topping
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Directions:

Step 1: Measure 1 1/2 teaspoons Butterscotch Topping Syrup into each of the glasses or mugs (Chilled mugs works great).

Step 2: Add a 1/4 cup of cream soda into each glass and stir with a spoon until butterscotch topping is completely mixed in with the soda. Set aside.

Step 3: For the Foam - Combine the Reddi WHip, the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of Butterscotch Syrup, and 1/2 tablespoon of cream soda in a small bowl. Stir until well combined.

Step 4: To Finish - Pour the remaining Cream Soda into the Glass or mug. Spoon the foam mixture slowly into the center of the glass until it reaches the sides of the glass.

You can enjoy this right away or let stand for 1-2 minutes to get the full effect and look of the WWOHP Butterbeer. ENJOY!!!

The cookies are sugar cookie cut outs made from a pattern of our favorite little ball, the Golden Snitch.

Step 2: Add yellow food coloring to 1/3 of the frosting and frost “body” of the Snitch. Frost “wings” with white. Set aside.
