Hey Slow Roasters, it’s LADIES NIGHT!  We have been noticing the signs of fall creeping up on us, the sun is setting earlier, the temps are dropping below 80 at night and I have cookies on the brain. I could probably do an entire cookie month with all the cookies I am wanting to bake.

Chad the creative and wonderful cocktail artist that he is, designed

this fabulous Chocolate Caramel Cookie Cocktail Shooters just to satisfy my cookie cravings.  He served these up in adorable little shooter glasses with a cookie on top.  Talk about party perfect presentation.  These may find their way to my Christmas party this year.   

This is an amazing creamy chocolate cocktail with smooth and rich caramel highlights throughout.  You are going to love this!  Remember… you can skip the shooter glasses and pour these into martini glasses (serves 2 martini glasses).

Happy Thursday Slow Roasters!  Welcome to Ladies Night here at The Slow Roasted Italian.  Tonight I am sharing a very special cocktail created by our very own mixologist Chad (also my fabulous other half).

After a long hard day what sounds amazing to you?  The most heavenly food combination ever:  peanut butter and chocolate.  Do you remember that commercial from the 80’s?  A jar of peanut butter and a giant chocolate candy bar sticking out.  “You stuck your chocolate in my peanut butter…”  THAT could be my heaven.

My favorite candy ever are the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Easter Eggs.  I could eat them everyday and be completely happy.  Peanut butter cups are my happy food!  Not just off the store shelf though, my favorite is to eat them chilled.  Ohhhhh purely divine!!! 

Keeping this in mind, Chad developed my happy cocktail.  Being completely thoughtful of his cocktail creation he is using real peanut butter, he adds Kahlua to bring out the chocolate flavor (as I add coffee to chocolate in baking).  This is not your standard peanut butter martini.  This is like a peanut butter cup in a glass.  It is absolutely incredible.  So, kick off your shoes, grab a spot on your favorite comfy chair and pour yourself a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Cocktail.  Virtually guaranteed to chase your day away.

Enjoy!

With love, from our simple kitchen to yours.
