Snickers: melted or blender? UPDATE: melting is a disaster UPDATE UPDATE: blender success!

[sciencetoy]

I had dental work this morning and I can't have any solid food, but those snickers bars look incredibly tempting.

Which would work better, melting them (and then removing the nuts, I suppose) or put them thru the blender?

UPDATE: nope, not melting - one big burnt mess, and the chocolate part didn't melt - I bet they put some chemical in it so it survives shipping and store shelves.

I can't have the nut parts because they'll get stuck in the stitches, or something.


UPDATE UPDATE: the blender works! At first it turns into this gluey something glob. Wife to the rescue, add milk (her suggestion), whirl some more. Success!

No pics because I'm too sick to get the stupid camera working. Maybe later . . .

when you melt chocolate you should use a double boiler

a microwave will work as well since you can not get a tempeature over 212 degrees.

I would have to disagree. The nougat in snickers is much different than milky way.

That's definately not true.

A microwave is one of the few places water can easily 'superheat'.

You can easily turn sugar(or that snickers bar..) into carbon in a microwave... melt non-microwavable plastic, etc... all of which takes more than 212F...

Damn. Had thought maybe it went away.

Mix up some frapp and put a snikers bar in the blender. YUM!

You can also put some ice cream in with it!
