Cookies dunked in dark chocolate sounds like a fabulous idea! (I might make those for Thanksgiving!) But for the ones served with the cranberry ice I might consider white chocolate dunking instead. Cranberry is pretty tart and the semisweet chocolate might not provide the balance it needs.
DOn't know how old your "older" crowd is, but I've found lots of "older" folks who haven't tried jello shots and they love them! I mean, who doesn't like Jello?! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
I hope you're making LOTS of those Latkes, because it sounds like there's gonna be a LOT of vodka at this party! Looks like it's shaping up to be a family holiday party for the books! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" />
Have fun! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" />
ROFL
It does seem more like a VODKA party reading this post...but remember all the latke recipes I have to choose from in my OP. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" /> Just have to figure out how to keep them hot!
Thank you for all your feedback and suggestions. I will take your advice about the white chocolate.
Do you or anyone else have a brand of white chocolate that you are happy with? I have tried Ghirardelli's white chocolate and dislike it intensely. Nestles white morsels are tastier!
I haven't decided 100% on the Jello Shots... I printed out Deb's (Peconic) recipe for [color:"blue"]Ice Water[/color] jello shots, but I'm not sure peppermint flavor is what I am looking for in colder weather.
Do you or anyone else have a favorite recipe for jello shots that you care to share with me?
Any other tried and true finger food suggestions to go along with the latkes are greatly appreciated as well.
Yes, this is going to be interesting...everyone is excited to partake in a Latke-Vodka party! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
