Steps:
- Place four 10-ounce glasses in the freezer and line a baking sheet with wax paper. Make the pretzels: Put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted. Let cool until thick but still pourable, then pour into a short, narrow glass and mix in the vegetable oil. Dip the pretzel rods in the chocolate, tilting the glass and twirling the rods to coat. Transfer to the baking sheet and sprinkle with cayenne. Refrigerate until set, at least 20 minutes.
- Make the caramel sauce: Melt the butter with the brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and cook, whisking, until the sugar melts. Add the half-and-half and vanilla and bring to a boil; cook until thickened, about 3 minutes. Season with kosher salt and let cool.
- Make the milkshakes: Combine the ice cream, 1/2 cup bourbon, the vanilla and a sprinkle of Maldon salt in a blender. Blend until smooth, adding up to ½ cup more bourbon if desired.
- Pour into the chilled glasses. Drizzle with the caramel sauce, sprinkle with more Maldon salt and garnish with the pretzel rods.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, hazelnut flour and salt. Beat the butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until creamy. Split the vanilla bean, scrape out the seeds using the back of a thin knife and add to the butter with the egg yolk. Beat until combined. Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Roll the batter into a 12-inch log, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cut the log into 18 pieces and roll each piece into a crescent shape. Put the crescents on the lined baking sheets, about 1 inch apart. Bake until the cookies are set and the bottoms and edges are browned, about 14 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar while warm, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

- Take 2 crepes and spread pudding evenly between them. Fold crepes into quarters. Top with pears and syrup. Serve warm.
PEAR APEROL SPRITZ
Our autumnal take on the summer staple teams the popular Italian aperitif Aperol with hard pear cider, fresh lemon juice, and a juicy pear slice. It's the sweater set of cocktails: light enough for mild days, but cozy enough for cool nights ahead.
