Rachael’s Almond Joy
An adult version of a Halloween candy bar – a delicious and decadent boozy treat to savor on a crisp Halloween evening, as the kids laugh and scamper between the houses, and the leaves twirl in the wind, and the jack-o-lanterns burn bright.
A recipe inspired by the winner of the 2020 Fall Recipe Challenge, Rachael Citron.
