Cuisine quest: Butterfinger brownies
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2007, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.

Make Butterfinger brownies with some of the extra Halloween candy bars your kids bring home tonight.

Melinda Phillips, who enjoyed a similar cookie while vacationing at Disneyland, requested the recipe. We found this version at www.recipezaar.com.

Requests: Connie Hatch wants a Fred Wix, aka Gabby Gourmet, recipe for sauce in a log made with powdered milk, butter and flour.

The sauce was kept wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator. "When a white sauce was needed, you could cut off a small chunk, put it into a small pan with water and heat until thick," Hatch wrote. "It was very handy to have around for a quick cheesy veggie topping."

Laurie Richards has lost her recipe for sweet cardamom braid with fruit. "The bread was braided and then shaped into a Christmas tree and topped with a glaze."

Patrice Becker is trying to find a recipe for the cherry chip cookies that used to be sold at the ZCMI department-store bakery.
