The Most Genius Bar Snack by Kate Krader, Restaurant Editor

Lest anyone think that all we do is drink when we test recipes for Food & Wine Cocktails 2008, I can set your minds at rest. We actually eat, too. Specifically we eat bar food, because next year’s book will have a huge chapter on the best selections from around the country. We’ve found great recipes in the past, including the killer Cubano Sandwich from New York City’s Spotted Pig and the succulent Pug Burger from Los Angeles’s The Hungry Cat (they’re both in Cocktails 2007). This year we’ve discovered more excellent snacks, including one of the most ingenuous dishes ever—Curried Rice Krispie Squares from Violet Hour in Chicago. I know, I know, they sound weird, bordering on disgusting. But they’re brilliant and yummy. You can snack on them with just about any drink, but they’re especially good with a brandy cocktail, or one of those increasingly popular sherry drinks.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons Butter
10 ounces Marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies
2 tablespoons Curry powder
