Changed Bourbon for Brandy and pecans for toffee crunchies, but that is what makes this recipe so great... Well, that and the fact that you don't have to bake them (which I cannot seem to do without burning them) AND the booze stays in them!!
Currently cooling in the freezer...

Just finished watching the Cooking Channel's Holiday on the Rocks show (complete with some Gary Vee tips on wine). I am officially inspired to throw a mini holiday soiree!
This awesomeness has been added to my holiday wish list!
As you can tell... I ate... A lot.
ProjectYine knew that if we were going to be in Austin, Texas that we needed to visit the Whole Foods flagship store.
Our host and Twitter friend, @Baconator took Ashley (aka @TheBeerWench) and myself there today.It was a three hour marathon of wine, beer and food sampling, followed by a feast inside their cafeteria upstairs. Needless to say, it was one of the highlights of the trip. The wine section alone is reason to go there and Ashley, of course, squealed from joy a few times in the "Beer Alley."
Then there was the food.... Oh, the food! This particular Whole Foods is a meca of yummy treats for everyone, a place where vegans and carnivores can co-exsist.
Here are just some of the pictures I took with my iphone.
