Some of our favorite childhood snacks are best left in the rearview. Twinkies, Easy Cheese, and Spaghettios lost their appeal some time after puberty hit. Other treats, however, remain in a prominent place in our fridges when we happen upon them in the grocery aisle. While these sugary treats are a delicacy all their own, we would be remised if we didn’t try to upgrade them to a new level worthy of an adult’s palate. After all, liquor makes everything taste better.
