...as chosen by ecode, the winner of the Fatty Throwdown!

With Halloween coming this weekend, most of us will be up to our eyeballs in candy. So why not figure out some creative ways to either make our own candy, or use all of that excess candy? This one should be interesting to say the least.

Click here to read the rules for the BBQ Brethren Throwdown...

You may submit entries that are cooked from Friday 10/29 through Sunday 11/7.

Entry pictures must be submitted by Midnight Central US Time on Sunday night 11/7.

By submitting entry photos to this Throwdown thread you are agreeing that you have read and understand the Throwdown Rules.

The voting will begin Monday 11/8 after I submit the "Vote" thread and will run through Friday 11/12. All votes will be public.

Don't forget, you can still enter the Home Made Bread Throwdown until Sunday night 10/31 by midnight Central time.

Best of luck and even better eats to all!

Sounds great! A couple of the first things that came to mind for me were candied onions, candied yams, candied nuts, pig candy...there's really a lot of leeway here. I'm thinking I'll be doing something adventurous again!:becky:

Smokey Al Gold · Oct 28, 2010

I'll be doing whole hog candy or a crown roast of pork candy

How about a bacon wrapped pecan log?

Moose · Oct 28, 2010

Now THIS is going to be interesting...I have a feeling there will be some bacon showing up any moment.

BBQ Grail · Oct 28, 2010

Bacon is a crutch! Come one let's use some creativity...

Join me in taking the No Bacon Pledge!

Moose · Oct 28, 2010

Not if it's covered in caramel and enrobed in fine dark chocolate...:becky:

I'll take that pledge Larry (not that I ever cook bacon anyway).

landarc · Oct 28, 2010

I will also pledge to not use bacon if I can cook this Throwdown. I wonder how my chocolate coated Fakon will work out.

BigButzBBQ · Oct 28, 2010

This is one of those that is going to walk a fine line for me. If I do candied meat, my wife may doubt my creativity, if I use actual candy she may accuse me of wasting good candy. Hmmmm....

How many Reese's would it take to fill a fatty?

Gore · Oct 28, 2010

I was thinking Snickers .... KitKats anyone?

bigabyte · Oct 28, 2010

Bacon? ... well I'll just have to deduct 5 points then. :becky:

bigabyte · Oct 28, 2010

Somebody has to uphold some standards around here you know.

BigButzBBQ · Oct 29, 2010

I actually have a couple of ideas already none of which involve bacon but, may have to throw some in to keep up w/ the bigabytes, :becky:

I whipped these up while I was waiting for the ribs to smoke.

Start with some flour, butter, sugar, honey, milk, vanilla and salt, and make a little graham cracker dough. Roll it out:

Fortunately I was using my SNPP for the tailgate 'Q, so I was able to toss some coals into the OTS, open up the vents and get that sucker up to about 400, which was just right to bake these little guys.

Then, I went inside, grabbed some corn syrup, sugar and gelatin. After a hot caramel/burns-like-napalm-on-your-skin bubble-over in the kitchen, I finally got the sugar mixture to the right temperature. 15 minutes in the stand mixer later and I've got a baking dish of homemade marshmallows.

An hour or two later, they are firm enough to cut. I laid out a nice slab of marshmallow atop the graham crackers, along with an arrangement of Toblerone.

20 minutes in the smoker later, you've got yourself a gooey delicious smore!

Happy Halloween!
