Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract. While chocolate is heating, place some marshmallows on a cookie sheet and broil until golden and puffy (may use mini marshmallows if desired).

I found this and I thought I’d submit it to you if you wanted to use it. I love all of the different drinks you have, and it makes me want to get creative at parties/home. Thanks for creating this blog!

Rhubarb Cooler 1.5 cups 1 inch pieces rhubarb (apx 1.5 stalks of rhubarb, based on size) I used New Amsterdam for the Gin, but I tested the recipe out with Hendrick’s on the second try. The New Amsterdam version was smooth as far as the gin taste and let the ginger and rhubarb stand out more, but the Hendrick’s blend had a nice kick. I may be partial to Hendrick’s gin in general, but the next time I make the Rhubarb cooler, that’s the gin I’ll use.Puree rhubarb in a blender and strain outthe sediment through cheesecloth. I love the taste of rhubarb, but if you don’t, or if you can’t find it when it’s out of season, you could try substituting strawberry for the puree. You’ll still get some of the kick from the ginger liqueur, and you can also add muddled ginger to the blend (during the shaking stage). I also had to add a dash of simple syrup to the rhubarb – while I was pureeing it – to speed up the process. You could also add a bit of gin instead of simple syrup, but if the rhubarb had been fresh, I don’t think anything would have been required.

Anonymous asked: Do you know how many grams is in one envelope of knox?

I don’t know off hand. I’m sorry!

Anonymous asked: Just a question about the caramel apple jello shots, im wanting to make some really soon and just wondering about the knox gelatin, can i use any other gelatin? and how much is 'one envelope of knox gelatin'?

There are generic brands of the Knox gelatin. It just is the major brand for it. It’s about 2 dollars for 5 or 6 packages I think. It’s really cheap. Just like most jello.
