Lord Soth's Tombstone Squares

Inspired by the surrounding countryside of Nightlund, Soth created this masterpiece for the annual Fall Hallow's Eve held by the undead who celebrate their un-life. Decorated with cookies, colored coconut, and jellybeans, the normally morose Soth finds peace and serenity while creating his dessert, which is a huge hit, especially with the undead who have been interred in graveyards in the past.

Spiders of Darken Wood

These black sweets are a classic treat in Abanasinia, inspired by the mysterious spiders that thrive in the Darken Wood. By making them into a tasty jiggly dessert, the people of Haven and Solace especially, make the unknown giant spiders a little less threatening. A contest is usually held to see who can make the silliest face on their spider using a wide variety of local candies.

Swamp Waters of Xak Tsaroth

First introduced by an adventuresome gnome named Knoxwithabrasskeegleshaw (otherwise known as Knox to the non-gnomes), this tasty drink was originally distilled from a colorful and rare pool found in the swamps and ruins of the destroyed city of Xak Tsaroth. Now a popular gnome favorite, several rooms have been created in Mt. Nevermind dedicated to the brewing and distilling of this drink. Several gnomes have corroborated together to create a variation of the Swamp Water drink, entitled "Fizzy Acid". After several failed attempts using real acid (with disastrous and explosive results), they simply changed one ingredient to create a different color.

Prep time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

Directions
  1. Pour milk in blender. Add jelly powder and ice cream; cover.
  2. Blend at high speed 30 seconds or until smooth.
  3. Pour into glasses. Serve immediately.
