We’ve all heard of wine pairings… but why should wine have all the fun? 🍷

I’ve been experimenting with pairing my sweet treats with liquors, cocktails, and even mocktails — and let me tell you, the flavor combos are next level.

From rich and decadent to light and refreshing, there’s a perfect sip for every bite. Stay tuned… this might just become a thing. 😉

Let's start with what I have in house at the moment, Chocolate Chip Cookies and Peanut Butter Stuffed Chocolate Cookies. First the Chocolate Chip...
~The Classic Pairing – Chocolate Chip + Bourbon
~The Cozy Pairing – Chocolate Chip + Irish Cream
~The Refresh Pairing – Chocolate Chip + Sparkling Vanilla Mocktail

Peanut Butter Stuffed Chocolate Cookies?
Now we’re in rich, decadent, slightly salty, ultra-indulgent territory.
~The Indulgent Pairing – PB Stuffed Chocolate + Peanut Butter Whiskey
~The Sophisticated Pairing – PB Stuffed Chocolate + Chocolate Old Fashioned
~The Cozy Pairing – PB Stuffed Chocolate + Salted Caramel Latte
