Make your own butterbeer

I don’t know about you, but the words "butter" and "beer" kind of gross me out. Yet, there we have it many times in the Harry Potter books - Harry, Ron, and Hermione sneaking to Hogsmeade where one of the main attractions seems to be scoring some butterbeer. Here’s how you can make it yourself:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (8 oz) club soda or cream soda
- ½ cup (4 oz) butterscotch syrup (ice cream topping)
- ½ tablespoon butter
Directions:
Step 1: Measure butterscotch and butter into a 2 cup (16 oz) glass. Microwave on high for 1 to 1½ minutes, or until syrup is bubbly and butter is completely incorporated.
Step 2: Stir and cool for 30 seconds, then slowly mix in club soda. Mixture will fizz quite a bit.
Step 3: Serve in two coffee mugs or small glasses; a perfectly warm Hogwarts treat for two!

OMG, can you list all of the weird cakes and candies in HP and tell me what they are? Some are real and some not, but the cultural references are just over my head.
BTW, have you tried the every flavor beans? We get them every year for Christmas. Gotta love ear wax!
