Now, recipes for this vary, so you're welcome to try one of your own. I'm in love with the one here, though; it tastes like I always imagined butterbeer would. For this recipe, all you need is a couple 12 ounce bottles of cream soda (I use A&W) – and make sure it's not diet – along with 4 and ½ teaspoons of butterscotch syrup and half a cup of Reddi Whip or Cool Whip, depending on your tastes. I prefer the Reddi Whip because man, that stuff is deliciously rich! After that, it's so simple to make!
Butterbeer is a popular drink in the Harry Potter universe. It's been featured in the books, movies, and even theme parks. But now, you can make it right in the comfort of your own home!

Keeping with the drink trend, let's move on to pumpkin juice, which is Harry's second favorite drink. As you can see, in four simple steps, your juice is all ready. To be prepared, you just need chunked pumpkin, two cups worth; two cups of apple juice; half a cup of pineapple juice; and honey to taste. I promise you, this is actually delicious, and with fall coming up, it's the perfect drink!

Rock Cakes
/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2011/09/Rock-Cakes_300x200.jpg)
All right so, strictly speaking, neither Harry nor his friends like rock cakes, but this is for Hagrid, okay? I love Hagrid, he deserves his props – but I dare say these cakes are better than his. At the very least, you won't break your teeth! This one looks a little more complicated, but that's only because there are so many steps. The good news is, most of the ingredients are pretty standard, and you likely have them already. They include: self-rising flour; real butter; salt; pumpkin spice mix; sugar; eggs; milk; raisins (or cranberries, or blueberries -- YMMV); and a sugar/cinnamon mix you can make yourself.
Rock cakes are a classic British treat and a favorite of Harry Potter's beloved half-giant friend Hagrid. They are a type of scone made with self-rising flour, butter, salt, pumpkin spice mix, sugar, eggs, milk, and raisins (or cranberries, or blueberries). The batter is shaped into small round cakes and baked until golden brown.
Rock cakes have a crunchy exterior and a soft, slightly chewy interior. The pumpkin spice mix and sugar/cinnamon mix give the cakes a unique flavor and aroma. The raisins add a nice sweetness and texture to the cakes.
Rock cakes are easy to make and require only a few simple ingredients. They are also a great way to use up leftover ingredients, such as old raisins or cranberries. They can be enjoyed as a snack or served as part of a dessert.
Rock cakes are a delicious treat that can be enjoyed by everyone. They are perfect for a Harry Potter-themed party or as a snack to enjoy while watching the movies. They can also be a great addition to a picnic or potluck.

This recipe is a bit tricky, so you really have to pay attention to those directions, okay? The thing is, you're making both the cake and the delicious topping, but if you take your time and follow the instructions, these are really delectable. There are several different recipes, but I like this one because you get to make your own cake, with all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and powder, butter, eggs, vanilla, heavy whipping cream, dark chocolate, and so on. The topping isn't incredibly hard either – it's main ingredient is Cool Whip! You can also use black licorice whips to make the handles.

Pumpkin Pasties
/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2011/09/Pumpkin-Pasties_300x200.jpg)
I know you've been waiting for this, right? These are basically like little pumpkin turnovers, and if you're a fan of pumpkin pie, you are going to love these. Again, there are several recipes, but this is one time I like the easier approach, so I like this one because it lets you use canned pumpkin pie filling. With that, butter, and pie crust, it's easy as – well, easy as pasties!

Treacle Tart
/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2011/09/Treacle-Tart_300x200.jpg)
Okay, this recipe nearly did me in, but I finally managed it. J.K.'s always talking about it being Harry's favorite, so as a hardcore Potterhead, I had to try it, you know? It's complicated out the box, though, so I advise you to print out the recipe and have it handy with you. For the pastry, you need butter that's cold and unsalted, salt, plain flour, fine sugar, and cold water. For the filling, you need golden syrup, black treacle, lemon zest and juice, eggs, and bread crumbs. It takes a lot of work, but it's worth it – if you like treacle, that is!
Treacle tart is a classic British dessert that is often mentioned in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. The tart is made from a sweet pastry crust filled with a mixture of golden syrup, black treacle, lemon zest and juice, eggs, and bread crumbs. It is a time-consuming dessert to make, but it is worth the effort for those who love treacle.
To make the pastry crust, you will need butter that is cold and unsalted, salt, plain flour, fine sugar, and cold water. Beat the butter until it is creamy, then add the salt, flour, and sugar and mix until it forms a crumbly texture. Slowly add the cold water until the dough is moist enough to roll out. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface, and place it in a greased tart tin.
For the filling, heat the golden syrup and black treacle in a saucepan until it is combined. Add the lemon zest and juice, eggs, and bread crumbs and mix until everything is combined. Pour the filling into the pastry crust and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Allow the tart to cool before serving.

/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2011/09/Chocolate-Frogs_300x200.jpg)
Ahhh, chocolate frogs! Unfortunately these do not come with Wizard cards, but you can't have everything. This is actually simple, the most complicated thing you need is a frog mold. From there, with only chocolate chips or a chocolate bar, grated chocolate, and candy for the eyes, it's simple!

/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2011/09/Cockroach-Clusters_300x200.jpg)
Not really, of course – these are actually delicious. Chocolate, peanuts, chocolate sprinkles – that's all! You don't even need a mold!
And just so you guys know, you can get the equivalent of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans at Jelly Belly. There's even a game involved. However, I love making these treats myself – and they are seriously delicious! Potter fans, do you think you'll try them? Do you have any variations? If you could try one thing from the Harry Potter Universe, what would it be?
