Question for the day:

What, precisely, is in a Butterfinger?

I know about butterscotch and I know about toffee. I know about malt and I know about peanut brittle. I know about rice crisps and I know about caramel and I know about nougat and I know about coconut and I know about nuts and I know about just about every damn thing you can put in a candy bar, but I do not know about the stuff that is in Butterfingers.

What is that stuff? And why do I want to eat it RIGHT NOW?

The universe, it is full of questions!

Oh, is it not peanut brittle then? I always thought it was, but then my British upbringing has not taught me such things as how to accurately identify brittle.

Peanut brittle has whole nuts in.

Butterfinger centers are similar in texture and taste to peanut brittle but are definitely not that :)

Who cries for the butters that give their fingers so we can have candy bars?, that's the question.

I think it's peanut butter, cooked down with a sugar syrup. It seems like it's also poured in layers as it cools, because it gets that nice flaky thing going. And then of course it's enrobed in chocolate--I love that term! I want to be enrobed in chocolate.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the peanut brittle lesson! ^_^

Check out http://www.babymilkaction.org/pages/boycott.html - it's sad to give up Butterfinger, but there are alternatives that are very nice too.
