Yes, I was thinking the same thing about the coffee crystals, and did rather try squashing them up a bit with my impecably clean hands. But I must try it with Splenda, as Mr. Bracegirdle was rather fond of his sample and I believe I will be making another few batches. Many thanks!

No Problem!

I start saving bottles in January. It looks really cool in Starbucks Frappachino bottles.

It wasn't until I made a batch of these up today while watching PJ's LOTR:ROTK that it occurred to me that this recipe should be posted here.

Chocolate Spiders

You don’t have to be as courageous as Samwise the Brave to feel up to attacking these spiders. Yum!

6 oz. Semi-sweet chocolate
1 cup butterscotch chips
2 cups chow mein noodles
1 cup salted peanuts
1 cup miniature marshmallows - white or multi-coloured*

Melt chocolate and butterscotch chips. Add noodles, peanuts and marshmallows, stirring until coated with chocolate mixture. Drop from teaspoon onto waxed paper. Chill until firm. Store in airtight container in refrigerator. Makes about 3 dozen.

* Slightly chilled marshmallows are best, so they keep separated. My batch today used marshmallows at room-temperature and they were just a gooey mess going into the pot and ended up completely melted into the chocolate. They should still be discernable as marshmallows in the final product. Very tasty either way.

Yeah, now we're talking taters! Thanks Bungo!

Raefindel · 12-30-2004, 11:20 AM

Snowdog I made your potatoes for Christmas dinner. They were very popular, though I must comfess I added green onions and put the crumb topping on only half and cheese on the other half. Good Recipe!

Snowdog · 01-05-2005, 12:57 PM

You are talking the Casserole? Good variation! I love green onions!

Raefindel · 01-05-2005, 05:39 PM

Yes, the casserole. I should have noticed you have more than one potato recipe posted.

I hope your holiday was delicious.

You can make lembas with many different kinds of flour.

But not quinoa flour.

Heard on Caradhras yesterday evening:

"Kettle's hot. Want some tea?"

"Ooo, can I have some of Raefindel's coffee?"
