Movie: Harry Potter/ Drink: Butterbeer
Ingredients:
1C light or dark brown sugar
6 tbs water
6 tbs butter
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cider vinegar
3/4 c heavy cream, divided
1/2 tsp rum extract
4-12oz bottles cream soda
Directions:
In a small saucepan
over medium, combine the brown sugar and water. Bring to a gentle boil and
cook, stirring often, until the mixture reads 240 F on a candy thermometer.
Stir in the butter,
salt, vinegar and 1/4 of the heavy cream. Set aside to cool to room
temperature.
Once the mixture has
cooled, stir in the rum extract.
In a medium bowl,
combine 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar mixture and the remaining 1/2 cup of
heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to beat until just thickened, but not
completely whipped, about 2 to 3 minutes.
To serve, divide the
brown sugar mixture between 4 tall glasses (about 1/4 cup for each glass). Add
1/4 cup of cream soda to each glass, then stir to combine. Fill each glass
nearly to the top with additional cream soda, then spoon the whipped topping
over each.

Movie: Stand by me/ Food: Any pie
I usually buy an already made pie and either drizzle caramel sauce over the top with a little bit of whip cream. My favorite pie is apple pie.
Apple Pie
6 tablespoons unsalted
butter
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 pinch salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup water
1 (15 ounce) package double crust ready-to-use
pie crust
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees
C).
Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in white sugar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and water. Bring the syrup to
a boil, stirring constantly to dissolve sugar, then remove from heat.
Unroll pie crusts, press one into a 9-inch
pie dish, and place the apples into the crust. Unroll the second crust on a
work surface, and cut into about 8 1-inch wide strips. Cris-cross the strips
over the apples, or weave into a lattice crust. Crimp the bottom crust over the
lattice strips with your fingers. Spoon caramel sauce over pie, covering
lattice portion of top crust; let remaining sauce drizzle through the crust.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake until the crust is
golden brown, the caramel on the top crust is set, and the apple filling is
bubbling, 35 to 40 more minutes. Allow to cool completely before slicing.
