Taste Tuesdays: Porter and Grown-up Rice Krispy Treats

Posted on the 19 July 2011 by Shawndrarussell
Last week Moon River Brewing's Assistant Brewer Jamee Parsons held the second montly Women's Beer Tasting, and this night out one of the beer and food pairings combined their coffee-inspired stout and a grown-up's version of the Rice Krispy Treat.
Ingredients Needed:
Marshmallow Creme
Melted White Chocolate (like Ghiradelli)
Honey Nut Cheerios
Ground Chocolate Malt
Porter-style Beer
Directions:
This version was made by melting white chocolate and marshmallow creme together at a 50/50 ratio, making about half a cup for every 1 cup of Honey Nut Cheerios. 
Next, our hostess poured this mixture over a combination of Honey Nut Cheerios.
To finish off the recipe and tie back in cooking with beer or beer-inspired ingredients, the concoction was sprinkled with ground roasted chocolate malt which is used to make Moon River's Porter.
The trick is to take a bite of the gooey treat and let it sit on your tongue while you take a gulp of the porter. I do not order porters as my beer of choice, but pairing it with the right desserts definitely has it in the running for dessert of choice.
Instead of serving a dessert that everyone has already had before, shock your guests by serving this grown-ups only dessert and beer pairing and help convince all those that swear that don't like dark beer into porter groupies.
