Tasty Book Tours Spotlight + Giveaway + Exclusive Twelve Days of Sweet Giveaway: Sweet Cowboy Christmas by Candis Terry


Sweet Cowboy Christmas
Sweet, Texas # 3.5
By: Candis Terry
Releasing November 25th, 2014

Blurb
Mistletoe, holly, and cowboys, oh my! Christmas in Texas has never been sweeter.

Years ago, Chase Morgan traded in his dusty cowboy boots for the shimmering lights of New York City and a fast track up the corporate ladder. But when his shiny life is turned on end just in time for Christmas, Chase knows he needs to reevaluate even if that means going home to Texas to endure his least favorite holiday.

When Mr. Tall, Dark, and Smoking Hot walks through her door at the Magic Box Guest Ranch, Faith Walker sees just another handsome, rich exec looking to play cowboy for a week-at her expense. She’s sure the grumpy, but sexy as hell Scrooge will put a crimp in her holly jolly plans. Until a sizzling kiss has her seeing him in a new light.

Chase is haunted by secrets, and even though it goes entirely against her “hands off the guests” rule Faith is tempted to help him leave the past behind. As the magic of the season swirls around them, she is determined to succeed because now she is certain one sweet, cowboy Christmas will never be enough.

DAY 1:
Faith Walker (from Sweet Cowboy Christmas)

The day Chase Morgan walked through my door I never imagined I’d be serving him a Toasted Mashmallow Shooter with a side of me! But what can you do when a tall, dark, and sexy cowboy steps into a room filled with all things merry and bright? You serve him up everything you’ve got!

Toasted Marshmallow Shooters

Ingredients:
4 marshmallows, regular size
2 ounces any flavor liqueur (Kahlua, Bailey’s, etc)
2 forks
electric burner (or gas fireplace/burner)
serving plate

Instructions:
  • Turn on your electric burner to red-hot high.
  • Stick a fork in a marshmallow, being careful not to pierce the bottom.
  • Hold the marshmallow side 2-3 inches over the burner. When it begins to smoke and brown, turn it again. Brown all sides of the marshmallow evenly, excluding the top where the fork is. Use the second fork to hold the marshmallow on while browning the bottom.
  • Slide the marshmallow off the fork onto a plate and allow to cool completely. The inside will implode naturally. If it doesn’t, use a fork or knife to open up center or press down to form a cup.
  • Pour liqueur into the cooled marshmallow and shoot immediately. If you wait too long, it will soak through the marshmallow. Or you could always let it drip all over the hot man in your presence. The rest is up to you. But don’t forget to eat the marshmallow!

Helpful Hints:
Toast all sides of the marshmallow evenly so you don’t get thin spots.
Don’t burn the marshmallow or the walls will get too thin.
Putting marshmallows in freezer to cool faster doesn’t work.
Only pour liqueur when ready to shoot, otherwise it will just soak through.
Make sure to have a plate underneath or you’ll have a mess.

  5. OMG I can't wait for this book to come out! I love all of Candis Terry's books, as they always leave me with a smile. The marshmallow shooters sure do look good! We don't pass on recipes because each year we try to make the normal dishes different. Basically, we don't make the same recipe each year, we try different ones all the time.

  10. Thanks for the chance to win ~ misbaglady@yahoo.com ~ I usually pass along my Oreo Ball Recipe:

    OREO BALLS
    1-18oz. pkg
    1 pkg oreo cookies (regular size, 3 rows of cookies)
    1-8oz. pkg cream cheese
    8 oz white chocolate almond bark
    Decorative colored sugars
    Add oreos to food processor and blend until fine. Add cream cheese to oreo crumbs and blend until dough-like. Chill mixture for 15 minutes then roll into bite-size balls. Chill balls for 15 minutes. Melt almond bark in microwave according to package directions. Dip chilled oreo balls in melted chocolate using fork so chocolate can "drip off". Set covered cookie balls onto waxed paper and let set aprox. 30 minutes. Sprinkle decorative sugars on top before chocolate sets. Store in refrigerator or freezer works great if making ahead of time.

  12. Thanksgiving dinner is so traditional it has not changed in years, so haven't passed on any recipes in forever. Sounds like it's time to shake things up!

  13. This is our holiday go-to (it'd be delicious the rest of the year, but it's WAY too tempting to eat it all if it's lying around...):

  17. I loved to make all kinds of homemade Christmas candy for my dad's gift. Since I moved from Ma to Ca it was hard to get it to him so I passed all my recipes onto my grown niece and told her it was time for the next generation to do. She has done it for a few years now but my dad told me it isn't the same as mine!! I am a daddy's girl lol Thank you for the chance to win :)

  21. I'm not a picky eater so I wouldn't pass on anything, although green beans are low on the totem pole! The toasted marshmallow shooters looks delish!!
