Fri Apr 03 12:57:22 -0700 2009 223833 joaniesl 1 4565264 Domino Brand Light and Dark is marked kosher for passover. Fri Apr 03 13:18:14 -0700 2009 4565184 59484 sig 2 4565326 Thanks for the fast reply. Now I can make that Matzah Toffe Crunch that I have been hearing about! Fri Apr 03 13:31:54 -0700 2009 4565264 223833 joaniesl 3 4565353 I've not yet made it, but several of the comments on epicurious recommended using the Brownulated Domino's sugar, which is also kosher for Passover. Fri Apr 03 13:37:38 -0700 2009 4565326 39900 GilaB 4 4565407 i use the brownulated in coffee during pesach, its good stuff Fri Apr 03 13:55:14 -0700 2009 4565353 18598 shoelace 5 4565477 Never heard of "Brownulated". Does it say on the package that it is kosher for Passover? Fri Apr 03 14:16:44 -0700 2009 4565407 223833 joaniesl 6 4565638 yep, i get it every year on my ""shoot what did i forget" trip to gourmet, two days before pesach Fri Apr 03 15:06:35 -0700 2009 4565477 18598 shoelace 7 4565843 Thanks! I'll look for it during my several "shoot what did I forget " supermarket runs!!! Fri Apr 03 16:12:41 -0700 2009 4565638 223833 joaniesl 8 4568131 Brownulated is brown sugar that pours, like granulated sugar. It's very easy to measure and doesn't turn into a sweet rock-like object after you open it and it sits around for a bit. Sat Apr 04 18:11:25 -0700 2009 4565843 39900 GilaB 1 4574903 We can't find K for P brown sugar in St. Louis. Are the Domino's bags actually marked K for P???? I know I have had brown sugar every year for the past 4or 5 years: since the Matzo Crunch (a/k/a Crack) recipe came into our lives. We were thinking that in the past, brown sugar did not require a K for P hecksher, but that this year, the St. Louis Vaad is saying that we must have the K for P - - - -but the product is not to be found. Alas, no Matzo Crunch this year. Any ideas out there about how I can make it w/o the sugar? Thanks, p.j. Tue Apr 07 09:08:43 -0700 2009 4565184 13038 p.j. 2 4574968 I've never seen a Domino's brown sugar box or bag that didn't have the OK-P designation on it, but if yours there don't have it, I don't know why you couldn't at least try the recipe with white sugar. Speaking of that recipe, I don't understand why, but I've never been able to make it successfully. I tried 2 or 3 times a few years ago, and I could never get the butter (maybe I used margarine then?) and the brown to coalesce, so when I poured it over the matzah, all that happened was that the matzah became saturated with the oil from the butter/margarine, and the sugar fell off. Can anyone advise me on what I might be doing wrong? Tue Apr 07 09:24:42 -0700 2009 4574903 159087 queenscook 3 4575243 Ummm.... not to cause a problem, but I believe the OK-P means it is Pareve. p.j. I had a similar problem. I think it was with margarine. I think the butter works better. I think I just used a spatula to move the sugar around, and added the chocolate chips, and it worked out. Tue Apr 07 10:30:21 -0700 2009 4574968 13038 p.j. 4 4575301 OK, (no pun intended) I am officially suffering from dementia. I just checked the OK site, and of course the P does mean Pesach. Sorry, I was too hasty and didn't do any research. Further discussion w/ DH revealed he looked at the Pesach section in the market, but did not go to the baking section. Our unopened bag of brown sugar is a store-brand w/o a K for P hecksher. I believe he found the Domino's white sugar in the Pesach section, and hunted no farther. Again, my apologies. p.j. Tue Apr 07 10:40:02 -0700 2009 4575243 13038 p.j. 2 4575916 Just FYI, you can make your own brown sugar: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/homemade-dark-brown-sugar-recipe/index.html Tue Apr 07 13:01:20 -0700 2009 4574903 258652 elansey 3 4575927 Like finding KFP molasses is the EASY step. Tue Apr 07 13:03:42 -0700 2009 4575916 202198 ferret 3 4575997 Hey, thanks. Yeah Alton! But yeah, my molasses isn't k for p and is down the basement already. Issue now is no more grocery store runs, per d/h. Good Friend will bring an extra brown sugar tomorrow night. Alas, No crack for the seder. Thanks and a zeisin and kosher Pesach to all, p.j. Tue Apr 07 13:22:27 -0700 2009 4575916 13038 p.j. 4 4576054 I just bought about 8 cans of olives, then discovered half a dozen cans from last year on the top shelf of a cabint and my wife just called because she was out shopping for last-minute items -- including several cans of olives. I guess I'm making a gallon of tapenade. Tue Apr 07 13:34:03 -0700 2009 4575997 202198 ferret 5 4576085 Sounds like a plan...when life gives you olives..... . . p.j. Tue Apr 07 13:44:12 -0700 2009 4576054 13038 p.j. 4 4578976 I found the brown sugar with the appropriate kosher for Passover label and made my Matzah Toffee Crunch last night. Too bad I am sure I have gained 5lbs! Wed Apr 08 13:18:29 -0700 2009 4575997 223833 joaniesl
