I love that. :) I'll hook you up the next time I make them. And omg, all of my comment notifications were being sent to my spam folder, so I just saw this one (and others). I feel so bad!

I can't believe I missed this one. It looks and sounds too good to be true. How could you have made something so magical? I am glad you came up with it. Oh My God! I can’t believe I missed this one.

Yeah... it's such a shame having a sensitivity to coffee. I love the flavor of it... and even decaf affects me! Thank you so much, Lucette! Yeah… it’s such a shame having a sensitivity to coffee.

I probably wouldn't eat this one (same problems with caffeine as you); or maybe only half! I’ve been following your creative process with fascination–and the results look wonderful.

Aaron - Thanks! I'll probably give candied nuts on top a try. My only reservation is that there's already so much caramel on the inside that putting even more on the outside might be a little superfluous. But you're right - the added crunch and enhanced look might make it worth it. I'll see. And the French Laundry! Now I really miss Napa. :) That butterfinger must have been amazing. It's funny you should mention that, too, because I also considered doing something like a coffee-flavored butterfinger (with another nut instead of peanut). That would be a serious crunch! Again, maybe I still will give it a try. :) And funny - I just searched "french laundry butterfinger" and someone once had "Deconstructed Butterfinger bar – chocolate sorbet, with peanut butter cake and crunchy peanuty crumbs." http://www.bunrab.com/dailyfeed/dailyfeed_Jun-05.html I guess the pastry chef there just adores butterfingers! Thank you, Lisbeth!

It tasted just like the real thing, but with better ingredients and some fleur de sel on top...wow...it may have been my favorite part of the meal. So I guess great minds think alike. Keep up the good work.

I guess I would want a serious crunch to offset the mush and chew factor. How about candying the nuts for extra crunch? They'd look prettier on top that way also...like little jewels studding your creation. Being a coffee lover/addict, these flavors sounds killer.

Just as before, this looks excellent! Your ability to come up with all these twists on a standard is really neat, and I love reading about your process. Imagining the flavors, though - that's the best part! I can't wait to try them once you get set up! Oh, man, you’re killing me. Just as before, this looks excellent!
