Halloween Butterbeer Floats Recipe

October 7, 2017 by Lisa Pinney

Floats are just fun!

And floats based on our very favorite Harry Potter theme are absolutely magical!

The absolute must for these floats is the creation of this homemade buttery sauce…my cute assistant is placing the butter in the saucepan…

 

Add the brown sugar next…

stir continually over low heat until sugar is dissolved…

Carefully pour in the whipping cream…

Pour in the flavoring…

Place this delicious sauce in a bowl and refrigerate a couple of hours or overnight until completely cool…

Now that the sauce is cold the magic can begin!

In your glasses layer the delicious butterbeer sauce…

Then some ice cream…we used vanilla …

Then a bit of cream soda…

And repeat those amazing steps again!

A&W Cream Soda…be still my heart!!!

Oh my!!!

Whipped cream is a must!!

And just a little bit more of that magical sauce!

Now using her wand to cast that spell…

Perfection!

She’s AMAZING!!!

And pleased with herself I must say!

Even Captain America showed up for the party and gave me his most serious super hero face…

Picture perfect and delicious!
