Spiked Recipe Challenge: Chocolate Liquor (2024)

posted February 1, 2014 by Julie // 4 Comments »

Hello all and welcome to February! And to the very first Spiked! Recipe Challenge of 2014! It is a new year so we decided it was time that Spiked! sported a spiffy new look. How do you all like the new button? Yeah, I’m a lover of cooking and baking and making graphics! I made this in two different colors and we decided that we just loved this color scheme. We hope you like it too.

So who is excited for Spiked!?

I know I am because this month’s boozy ingredient is…

Who is as excited about this month’s ingredient as I am? Chocolate liquor, I know I’m going to have some fun with this! It only seemed appropriate to go with Chocolate Liquor with Valentine’s Day just around the corner. And it can be any liquor as long as it is chocolate, folks. Carrie’s going with a yummy Whipped Chocolate vodka. I’m not sure what I’m going to use yet. But feel free to go with a creamy Godiva or another chocolate liquor.
