Having just eaten a Butterfinger during my second break at work today, I'm fairly confident that my chocolate bar in fact contained no finger in it ... barring any accident that may have occoured at the plant. Or even ButterNutt, or Butternut Pie. I don't know what that is as a pie so it could be marketed anyway one likes. After all a Snickers is actually a ... snick·er (snkr) intr.v. snick·ered, snick·er·ing, snick·ers To utter a partly stifled laugh: "I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker" T.S.

I have to have the time" excuses :) I like the idea of harvest bar. sorry, my creativity is at a low now, so i will think more and then post again. in the mean time, i have to say that you MUST make and sell this bar. none of these “it’s not definite.

When you go to Starbucks, you can have a Pumpkin Spice Latte, but it doesn't have pumpkin in it. Just the spice... From their web site... "a delicious blend of pumpkin and traditional fall spice flavors combined with our signature espresso and freshly steamed milk, and topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spices" Then again, maybe I'm missing it all together...

And when people ask what it is... why, it's a spiced pumpkin caramel on shortbread; it's named 'butternut' because it's the type of pumpkin I use in the caramel. I don't think it's prevaricating to call butternut squash a type of pumpkin, and I think including it in the name is a better option than putting just a bit of other pumpkin in for the title. ‘The butternut bar’ sounds amazing.
