Hi lovelies!  Happy T-minus 4 days until Halloween!!

OUR LATEST VIDEOS

Aka, only a few days until you can raid your children’s trick-or-treat bags and steal all the GOOD candy.

Or, if you are like me and only have children that walk on all fours, only a short amount of time until you can just eat ALLLLL the candy.  And celebrate the fact that you don’t have to share… or be a role model for good behavior.  😉

Basically, only 4 days until spook-tastic times will be had by all.  Wahoo!

So tell me, are you dressing up?  Do you plan on letting your hair down and painting the town red?  Possibly hitting up a party for some festive fun?

Or maybe you are more low-key, and just plan on taking your chitlens, dressed in their adorable duds, around the ‘hood?

Do share!  I love hearing what you guys are up to!  Plus, Boy and I are hermits, so I need to live vicariously through you.

Our big plan is to stay at home dressed in our jammies and binge watch Halloween specials on TV.

Did you just call me lame??

Yeaaaa, I can’t even defend myself there.

But, I prefer the term ‘special’.  😉

However, we will be kickin’ back a few of these festively fun cocktails.  So you see, we aren’t completely and utterly dull. 

Snickertini – AKA Snickers Chocolate Martini

You guuuuuuys!!!  THIS COCKTAIL!!!  It tastes EXACTLY like a snickers in smooth liquid form.  And with a boozy touch, of course.

This snickertini recipe is sinfully decadent, ridiculously rich, and perfectly creamy with heavenly notes of chocolate and caramel.  Basically, this cocktail is LIFE, my friends.

Or as Boy says, this cocktail is Halloween in a glass.

Seriously, who needs eat candy when you can drink it!?

Okay, so maybe you still need candy.  But you definitely need a pitcher of this caramel chocolate martini on the side.

What’s in a Snickers Martini?

A snickertini is a chocolate and caramel twist on a vodka martini.

The main ingredients in a snickers martini are caramel vodka, Irish cream, chocolate liqueur and amaretto.

How to make a Snickers Chocolate Martini aka a Snickertini (Notes, Tips & Tricks):

1. I used caramel flavored Irish Cream in my martini to give it an extra caramel kick, but you can use plain ‘ole Irish Cream if that is what you have on hand.
2. This dessert martini recipe calls for a splash of half-and-half; you can use either fat free or regular if you like.  If you want your cocktail a little less strong, simply add more half-and-half.  If you like your cocktail stiff, skip the half-and-half all together.
3. To decorate the inside of the glasses, I like to use chocolate and/or caramel sauce.  Simply drizzle the sauce(s) on the inside of the glass and then place the glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.  This step is completely optional.  If you would like to make your own sauce, I have included an easy, microwave homemade chocolate sauce recipe in the notes section of the snickers martini recipe below.
4. I didn’t take any photos of this, but whipped cream is a delicious garnish for this chocolate martini, along with some coarsely chopped snickers bars.
   

Add these ghoulishly good Snickertinis to your Halloween bash, I pinky promise this dessert cocktail won’t disappoint!

Side note, since Halloween falls on Monday I will be taking the day off from posting.  I hope you guys have a wickedly spooktacular Halloween!

Until next Thursday friends, Cheers – to double, double, toil and trouble… and snickers in chocolate martini form.

XOXO

Recipe Notes

1. I used caramel flavored Irish Cream in my martini to give it an extra caramel kick, but you can use plain Irish Cream if that is what you have on hand.
2. This dessert martini recipe calls for a splash of half-and-half; you can use either fat free or regular if you like.  If you want your cocktail a little less strong, simply add more half-and-half.  If you like your cocktail stiff, skip the half-and-half all together.
3. To decorate the glasses, I like to use chocolate and/or caramel sauce.  Simply drizzle the sauce(s) on the inside of the glass and then place the glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes.  You can skip this step if jazzed up martini glasses aren’t your thing.  I have included a homemade chocolate sauce recipe below, but feel free to use store-bought.
4. I didn’t take any photos of this, but whipped cream on top is an excellent addition, along with some coarsely chopped snickers bars.

Homemade Microwave Chocolate Sauce:

1.5 ounce + .15 ounce semisweet chocolate chips - divided (about 1/4 cup + 1 tsp)

2 TBS Half and Half

Microwave 1.5 ounces of chocolate chips with half-and-half at 50% power for 30 seconds.  Stir.  If chocolate isn't fully melted after stirring, microwave again at 15 second intervals, stirring until fully melted.

Add in the remaining chocolate chips and stir.  Set aside to cool before using.
