Halloween Hot Toddy
Author Notes: Every year we try to have something for the brave moms and dads who accompany their kids in their endless roundsof candy hunting on All Hallowed's Eve. This year is going to be realitively warm, so Caramel Hot Spiced Cider - lorigoldsby
Food52 Review: Hot damn, that lorigoldsby knows how to put hair on a girl's chest! We had our first real snowfall and temperature plunge Friday night. The next day, my neighbor and I teamed up to shovel our sidewalks and driveways together. This was our reward. "Light" butter, oh puhlease. I mean, get real. An entire fifth of Buttershot Schnapps, a gentle hammer of Hot Damn! Schnapps, then brown sugar and—whipping cream, oh and Amaretto in the sauce which gets drizzled over—whipped cream! Please let it be noted that I made a two-person batch of punch, but an entire batch of the caramel, which I have grand plans for. I'd have posted a photo, but we consumed all the evidence. I'm hoping for a lot more snow—and soon. - boulangere

Yes, those are the actual names. You can find them in any liquor store. The crowds said this was my best batch. I started out years ago with just cider and the Hot Damm! ( cinnamon schnapps).

Is Butterscotch Schnapps the same thing?

Yes. I think it depends on the brand.
