What is butterbeer fudge made of? ›

Butterbeer Fudge Layer:

4 ounces marshmallow crème (¾ cup) (a little over half the 7 ounce jar) ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk. ½ cup granulated white sugar. ¼ cup caramel ice cream syrup/topping.

Where to find it: Grab Butterbeer fudge at Sugarplum's Sweet Shop in Diagon Alley or Honeydukes in Hogsmeade.

A simple brown sugar and butter syrup gets topped with cream soda and a dollop of cream in this wildly popular drink. Next time you are having a Harry Potter movie marathon, book club meeting, or even a Halloween party, pull out all the stops with this sweet drink that even Harry, Ron, and Hermione would approve of.

In Bon Appetit's January 2002 issue, author J.K. Rowling was asked what butterbeer tastes like, and she said: "I made it up. I imagine it to taste a little bit like less sickly butterscotch." The version sold at The Wizarding World was tasted and approved by Rowling herself.

In the Harry Potter series, several instances imply Butterbeer contains a low level of alcohol. Particularly in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, there are subtle hints about its effects. One notable moment is when Hermione Granger appears slightly tipsy in the film adaptation after consuming butterbeer.

Butterbeer had a slight alcoholic content and although was safe for children to drink, it could affect creatures (such as house-elves) if consumed in to high a quantity. Harry enjoyed his first Butterbeer in Hogsmeade.

The Butter Beer is worth the expense. Get it in a keepsake mug which can be refilled with various drinks of your choice around the park for . 85 instead of the customary/exhorbitant drink fee. Get your Butter Beer in The Three Broomsticks rather than on the street.

As a general rule of thumb, we always suggest that Butterbeer is better cold just like in the books and movies. We feel like butterbeer is meant to be enjoyed like a soda, especially on those hot Florida and California days.

This is a reality. But its origin dates back much further than J.K. Rowling's films. Butterbeer, or “Buttered beere” as it was described in 1594, has existed for many centuries. At the time of the Tudors, beer was already a typical and commonly consumed drink.

Drink it through the foam, and you've got the distinctive "Butterbeer" flavor that blends shortbread and butterscotch. Introduced at the same time as the cold version, Frozen Butterbeer [$9 in Hollywood, $8.99 in Orlando] has pretty much the same flavor, but with a slushy version of the soda base.
