Trivial, but...

In "Spiked Desserts," the "boozed-up banana trifle" recipe called for a cup or so of "milk chocolate toffee bits." Since the author clearly didn't mean Milk Duds (too hard to chew) I just left it out, not knowing what the author COULD mean - I wasn't about to pay for the more expensive types of candy that gets displayed under glass.

Until I stumbled on Skor candy bars and then a bag of Heath bars. (Clearly, I don't eat that type very often - maybe once a decade at most!)

Is there any reason NOT to break up those bars into tiny pieces and mix them in? Just wondering.

Crumbled Heath bars are used in milk shakes and concretes* around these parts.

I always wanted to give Ted Drewes a handful of Chocolate Covered Cherries and say "Make a concrete with it!" THAT would rock!

What I'd do is freeze the bars and chop it up with a Chinese cleaver.
You could also buy this stuff which would probably give better looking
results.
