Hi all,
I'm grandmadora and just found your site while I was searching for a recipe!

Anybody know how to make those little square German chocolate candies they call "Ice Cubes"? I would give anything to be able to make them.

So nice to be among fellow "foodies"!

They are usually in a bucket as you check out of your favorite
convenience store. I believe there is hazelnuts (or filberts if you
prefer) involved.

I just found more than 10 Google pages for German chocolate makings by
typing in just four words:

I haven't either, but there are a lot of things I've never heard of
that people wax nostalgic about here.

I'm not big on recreating commercial products anyway.

Ok, I did search on these candies and what they look like and no, I've
never seen these. Maybe a regional favorite?

I don't think so. They were popular in the 1960's. Most places sold them
at the checkout counter. They were in some sort of display and I think they
sold two for a nickel. These days they are much harder to fine.

The *how* of these would be interesting. They melt rapidly and
actually feel cool in your mouth.

the chocolate is good-- but it i the texture 7 rapid melt that make
them good.

I tried a search and no recipe came up. I think they have hazelnut paste in
them. This surprised me. I never would have guessed it.

Out of sorts nothing, sf is *always* a nasty ****... she's probably
especially annoyed about chocolate now being how her 300 pound
o-cellulite ass has grown out of her wardrobe, she has resorted to
wearing bed sheets. You'd be out of sorts too if you had to sew two
queen sheets together to make one muumuu.

Sf, exactly. Because I don't know exactly what she wants, I suggested
she try searching through the 10+ pages.

Never heard of them, and I do love me some chocolate. I could not find
it on Wikipedia, either. It is either regional, or it was before my time.

She 'healthed it up' by using maple syrup for the sweetener.

I loved them as a kid. They were the 5 cent candy, compared to the 2
cent (whatever it was). I think it came in a raisin version. They were
rich and melty. I wasn't sure that's what the OP was asking for because
it doesn't seem like something you would make.

I really don't think so. We traveled a lot when I was a kid and I remember

You're right it IS clickable but I get an error page with that link,
however his _corrected link_ opens right up to the product.

Obviously, you need to be spoon fed at each meal.


When a link is 'wrapped'..... just exercise your fingers (and Oh, your
brain) and viola' the world will open up to you.

There is no need for that, no need at all.

Grow up, Penmarto, and try and work on the basis of "If I don't have
anything nice to say, I won't say anything at all." Or at least stop
being a derogatory little schoolboy.

The original worked but you needed to copy it, then paste it into your

Would have been better as a tinyURL, then wrapping wouldn't have been an
issue. But then, Peter's not the brightest candle, is he?

I'm using Efa Gold-
http://www.amazon.com/Natures-Way-Ef...dp/B003OGKCDC/

I've been playing with it for months in about a dozen recipes. This
is the first time it is such a major player. Most of the other
recipes have been underwhelming- even popping popcorn with it.

Why? Those Fudgy Buttons use regular butter and it works very
similarly.

Does clarified butter return to a solid at room temp? [I can't
remember- it's been decades since I bothered to clarify butter- I like
my salt & solids, I guess.]

To me, chocolate is at its best at room temp- if I had to store it in
the fridge it would kill the deal.
