I have a question about Dilly Bars. Once I bought a butterscotch dilly bar…a strange confection of ice cream that is coated with this waxy substance, which is in the shape of a small breast, nipple included…how are these things made? LP ---

I don’t know about butterscotch. Here’s how to make a chocolate dilly bar: Take a little circular mold with wax paper; draw soft-serve vanilla into it, finish with trademark curlicue (like the cones); put a stick into it; freeze solid; dip in dipping sauce; freeze. ---

A mold?!?! You people have a mold?!?! We took a piece of waxed paper and held it under the spigot flat so it spreads and then you draw it down for the little curly-Q. You stuff a stick into it and then dip it into coating. So much fun when the ice cream is really soft and the coating is a touch to hot. Hey Matt, do you guys have crunch coat for the cones? My favorite order is when they want it first with the crunchies and then dipped. We were forever having people complain about getting the crunchy stuff on the cones they didn’t want it on. Well, duh! We are putting this stuff on soft serve, and then dipping it upside down into the dip, and you expect all of it to stay on? And not show up on others since it is now in the warmer? Oh, I have horror stories. ---

Damn boy. Next time I feel the need for a sweet treat toute suite, I’ll make a road trip of it and drive north and fuck with your head. Can I fax in orders ahead of time? 😛 Cartooniverse ---

Having just return from [basso profundo] The Land of Dairy Queen [/basso profundo] (North Dakota), I can assure you, dear Matt, of my sympathies. I am, however, already experiencing withdrawal. During our four days, we sought to consume Dairy Queen at least once a day, and sometimes twice… Blizzzzzzzaaaaaarrds…with Heath Toooooooooofffffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee… Speaking of which, not to hijack this too terribly but what’s with that little cum-shot of Hershey’s syrup that seems to go into every Blizzard regardless of flavor? That struck me as a little weird. ---

That’s only in Smarties and Skor, and a few other hyper-chocolate things, to my knowledge. (It’s not in Oreo, or anything fruitlike, for example.) ---

But just think of the little bit of joy that you are giving someone when you make that Pecan Mudslide! I’d like to think that most people wouldn’t bitch and moan if you happen to make a mistake. Just remember that every Pecan Mudslide is a little bit of extra love in the world. Marc ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by BunnyGirl \* > \*\* Pecan Mudslides! How could you? > ::runs crying to the bathroom:: \*\* Ahhh, dearest **Bunny**. I’ve left you a Life Saver Kit. It’s on your desk next to the mousepad with the picture of Kathy Lee Gifford on it. 😃 It contains one (1) Package of two (2) Goo-Goo Clusters. This astonishing blend of chocolates, pecans and caramel is guaranteed to halt in it’s tracks the dreaded **Monthly Cravings**. It also contains three (3) Naproxyn Sodium, 330 mg. each. A cold can of Diet Coke. One (1) surgical scalpel. This is to be used liberally upon the next dickweed assmunch who stops in to your cubby to see if you brought enough [Goo-Goo Clusters](http://members.hmcltd.net/kmrowe/recipes/r66.htm) to feed the entire floor of co-workers. It contains one (1) white noise generator, industrial strength. Frequently found to be helpful when blocking out said whining co-workers. \<------walking away into the sunset, whistling a jaunty tune, confident that all will be right in your world before you know it. 😉 Cartooniverse ---

Speaking of Dairy Queen: I am still, 2 years later ROYALLY PISSED about the demise of THE BROWNIE DELIGHT. I would travel for miles for one of those things, damnitall and when they were taken off the menu I complained to the company for months… I did have several horrible experiences with BD’s though. The topping includes “Mixed Nuts” and several times the people working their had the UTTER GALL to place whole Spanish Peanuts on top of it!!! absolute incredible stupidity… GAG ---

Now Matt, remembering this thread… I went to Dairy Queen yesterday, when I was at the mall, to order a “Pecan Mudslide.” [sub]Well actually I went there 'cause there was this cute girl working there that I wanted to flirt with. But, as luck would have it, the owner (old lady) came to the register… and flirted with me. :eek: Grr. Anyways,[/sub] It didn’t look that hard to make. 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/note-to-dairy-queen-customers-please-please-please-do-not-order-pecan-mudslides/65786.md?page=2)
