This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Amazing, my grandma use to make these for me. I tried many different recipes but this is the best one. I just don't add cocoa to the filling. The filling is tricky to make but so good.
