Harry Potter Butter Beer!

My wonderful hubby did most of trhe cooking for our family of 8 last weekend.  One of the treats he made for movie night was Butter Beer!  It was so good but SUPER SWEET.  The kids loved it and so did the grown ups, but it would take one heck of a sweet tooth to go back for more.

Also, the internet suggested that it could be served hot or cold.  We tried it hot and cold....  I'd go with hot and if you make it (and it is super easy) make sure you rinse the cup out immediately.  Any left overs or residue solidifies back to butterscotch chip consistency and is a pill to clean without reheating.

Recipe from eHow:
Ingredients
  • 10 OZ of Cream Soda (1 & 1/4 cups)

  • 1 Tbsp of Salted REAL Butter

  • 1/2 Cup Butterscotch chips

  • 1/4 Cup Original Coffee Mate Liquid Creamer

  • Directions
    Put the Butterscotch Chips and Butter in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds. Stir and Heat for another 30 seconds.  Now add your Creamer to the bowl.
    Microwave in 30 Second increments again. Stirring each time.   It usually takes about 4 times (2 minutes) to get the right consistency.  Set your mixture aside.  The chips and butter should be a thick stir-able paste.
    Heat Cream soda in the microwave for 90 seconds.  BE VERY CAREFUL!  Microwaves times vary.  Make sure not to over heat the Cream Soda or all of the fizz will be gone.
    Pour Butterscotch mixture into heated Cream Soda.
    Stir & Serve!
