Spiced Caramel Apple Hot Toddy: My Diary of Us

Spiced Caramel Apple Hot Toddy

Can someone please tell me how it is already mid-October?  I cannot believe that we are approaching Halloween already which means Christmas will be here like...tomorrow!  We finally had a slight cool front blow into Texas which means that for two mornings I have been able to open the windows and get excited about the season!  Rumor has it we are getting another front next week, so I have my fingers crossed that it actually happens!  Whenever there are cool nights I am always up for one of my favorite fall cocktails, which happens to be a hot toddy!  I created a little twist on the classic to make it perfect for this Halloween season!  My Spiced Caramel Apple Hot Toddy is the perfect cocktail to make while you pass out candy to all those little ghosts and goblins AND to enjoy all fall long!

Saturday’s are for spontaneous road trips and these two...who are so stinking cute I may take a bite out of them both. 👪💙 _ P.S. Raise your hand if your spouse keeps you in check on a road trip when a two hour trip home turns into a 4 hour trip and your patience is running thin because no dinner yet, no naptime, and bedtime is going to be late? 🙋‍♀️ Because really it’s not a big deal and everyone will survive and life is short so even though the trip home can be long, you should always take the trip. It’s always worth it! 💯 Do you agree?
I just couldn’t make you wait any longer for this Chocolate Caramel S’mores Skillet Cookie because your Saturday needs some of this deliciousness! ⛺️🍪🍫🍦 _ Y’all, this skillet cookie is 💯 and you have to make it!! It’s perfectly gooey on the inside and is best topped with a little vanilla ice cream if you ask me! S’mores + Summer = 😍 | Happy weekend! _ Here’s how to make it: _ Ingredients: •1 stick, room temperature butter •2 eggs •1 tbsp coffee •1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract •2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder •1 cup crushed chocolate grahams (could use regular grahams too) •1 tsp baking soda •1 tsp salt •1 1/4 cup flour •5 oz @ghirardelli milk chocolate caramel squares chopped •1 cup mini marshmallows _ Directions: _ •Preheat oven to 350 Degrees. •Mix butter and sugars together until creamy. •Add egg, coffee, and vanilla at this time and blend again. •Slowly add in unsweetened cocoa powder, crushed grahams, flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined. •Fold in chopped chocolate caramels and marshmallows and pour batter into an oven safe skillet (preferably cast iron). •Spread into an even layer and bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through, but still slightly gooey in the center. •Serve with vanilla ice cream if desired. . . @thefeedfeed @ghirardelli #aBiteBetter #feedfeed #contest #smores #skilletcookie #getinmybelly #damnthatsdelish #bakeallday #thebakefeed #instayum #chocolate #howisummer #funfoodforkids #dessert #ooeygooey #weekendvibes #f52sweets #f52grams
