Sounds good but what would be a suitable substitute for the Hershey bar?
(Also, I wonder how far around the world this recipe has spread? )

hmmm, well I imagine you could just leave it out if you didnt want that...
or substitute another sweet chocolate bar...shouldnt make too much difference, may even be better;)

btw,
I got wind that this recipe may not be the real niemen marcus recipe afterall, but hey its worth a shot...looks good anyway

thanks silvo,
in my above post you will see that I say it may not be the real recipe...because I saw the above link elsewhere
it's still a recipe though and Id be interested in seeing how it turns out.
