Ravens Party Cocktail and Treat How-To

Charm City Concierge — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:54:12 +0000

For a fun, festive and PURPLE Ravens Party, try these fun and easy ideas!

First, we show you how to make an easy Purple spin on a favorite treat – Rice Krispie Treats!

You will start with the regular ingredients, 3 tablespoons of butter, 6 cups of Rice Krispies and 4 cups of mini-marshmallows. You can also use one package of regular size marshmallows but we found that the minis melt really well.The two additional ingredients you will need are blue and red food coloring.

Start by melting the butter in a medium to large saucepan over low heat. Once melted, you will add the mini-marshmallows, stir them up with the butter and let them melt -

Once melted, add 6 drops of red food coloring and 4 drops of blue food coloring. You can add an additional drop or two of each for a darker purple-

Stir it all up until you get a nice even PURPLE!

Pour the PURPLE marshmallow goodness over your rice krispies and mix together -

Once mixed, put the mixture into a 13×9 pan coated with cooking spray. Press into the pan evenly by applying butter or cooking spray to your utensils or hands.

Allow to cool, then slice into squares and ENJOY at your Ravens Party!

Now on to the beverages! Concierge Molly will show you how to make a delicious Purple drink sure to please any Ravens fan! Check our our video below!

Ravens Spirit Takes Over!

Charm City Concierge — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 20:22:57 +0000

Last week was a blast preparing for our home playoff game! Charm City Concierge has helped our clients Paint the Town Purple! The city was electric and so were all of our properties in Baltimore and throughout Maryland!

Our clients showed their spirit – decked out head to toe in Ravens and Purple attire! No request has gone unanswered as our spirited team of concierges helped their clients decorate offices, plan their tailgate parties and catering and cover themselves in purple. It is such a wonderful time of year and tons of fun to see everyone come together in support of our Ravens and see the spirit throughout the city!

What an awesome time to be a Raven’s Fan and to live and work in Baltimore!

This week should be even more exciting, gearing up for the AFC Championship Game at New England. We will keep our blog updated with Contests, Events around town, Ravens news, Tailgate & Drink How-To’s and MUCH MORE!

Our first contest is to show us your FU! If you sported a Ravens Fanstache in honor of Joe Flacco last weekend, post your photos on our Facebook page! Our favorite photo wins a Ravens Prize Pack full of goodies!

Here are some of our favorite photos from the week to get you in the spirit! GO RAVENS!
