    The hubby and I just threw a post 4th of July party and served an awesome dessert that our guests made funny faces at. We explained that we were serving beer floats. Our guests gave us puzzling looks and said that they wouldn't try it. We handed everyone a small float, begged and pleaded for them to try it, and eventually everyone caved in and humored us. At first they were a little hesitant to admit that the floats were yummy, but the next day, I received so many emails saying that they couldn't get over how much they enjoyed the floats. One tip though, the longer you let the float sit and mix, the sweeter it will be (I think it tastes like coffee ice cream). I hope everyone dives in and at least tries it.

    Recipe:
    1-2 Scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream - (being vegetarian, I used Coconut Milk Ice Cream for mine and it was still really good)
    1 bottle (or can) of a Dark beer. We used Shiner Black but I am sure you can use Guiness.

    Place ice cream in a cold glass and slowly pour the beer over the ice cream. Lightly stir the beer and ice cream until desired consistency.

    Please enjoy!!

I wasn't fussy about crusts. I just loved the sticky pairing of creamy peanut butter with syrupy golden sweetness drizzled from a honey bear in diagonals across the soft white bread. Nothing else--save for maybe apples and peanut butter in a pinch--could have made for as sweet an
