It has been 5 years since I had either. Anyone know where butterfingers and cherry peppers are in BKK? None in Phuket!

Tks.

I picked up Butterfingers at Villa once but they were hard and stale.

So I tried to make my own...

Butterfingers

1 Cup Peanut Butter

1/3 cup light corn syrup

1 cup sugar

1/3 cup water

Melted Milk Chocolate

Cook syrup, sugar, and water to 310 F. Remove from heat.

Stir in warmed peanut butter (warm slightly in microwave)

until well blended. Pour into a greased (buttered) 8" X 8" pan.

Score mixture into desired size bars.

When COMPLETELY cool, dip in melted milk chocolate

(use a double boiler to SLOWLY melt) and set on wax paper

until chocolate has hardened.

and while you're at it...try Almond Joy Bars....they actually came out pretty good, although they didn't look anything like the real deal...

Almond Joy Bars

Ingredients (26 servings)

4 c (8 1/2−oz) shredded coconut

1/4 c Light corn syrup

1 pk (11 1/2−oz) milk chocolate pieces

1/4 c Vegetable shortening

26 Whole natural almonds (1−oz)

Line two large cookie sheets with waxed paper. Set large wire cooling rack

on paper; set aside.

Place coconut in large bowl; set aside.

Place corn syrup in a 1−cup glass measure. Microwave on high (100%) 1 minute

or until syrup boils. Immediately pour over coconut. Work warm syrup into

coconut using the back of a wooden spoon until coconut is thoroughly coated.

This takes a little time, and yes, there is enough syrup.

Using 1 level measuring tablespoon of coconut, shape into a ball by

squeezing coconut firmly in palm of one hand, then rolling between both

palms. (HINT: Measure out all of the coconut then roll into balls.) Place 2

inches apart on wire racks. Let dry 10 minutes. Reroll coconut balls so

there are no loose ends of coconut sticking up.

Place milk chocolate and shortening in a 4−cup glass measure or 1 1/2 quart

microwave−safe bowl. Microwave on high 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture can

be stirred smooth and is glossy; stirring once or twice.

Working quickly, spoon 1 level measuring tablespoon of the chocolate

over each coconut ball, making sure chocolate coats and letting excess

chocolate drip down onto waxed paper. While chocolate coating is still soft,

lightly press whole almond on top of each. Let stand to set or place

in refrigerator. Store in a single layer in airtight container.

Keeps best if refrigerated. Makes 26.

Holy cow... ok, may give the butter one a try...

almond joy's got nuts, mounds don't..........

Sniper,

when you finished with your Butterfingers today I will swap with some fresh peach&crumble cake, a few slices from my raisin bread and may be even some faggots with mashed potatoes plus some gravy.
