Pecan Pie Flavored M&Ms

Pecan Pie is a THING not a flavor. What next asshole flavored M&M for gays? [quote]M&Ms arent as aggressively into new and exotic flavors as, say, Nabiscos Oreo cookies, but they have experimented with holiday-themed flavors like gingerbread, pumpkin spice, vanilla shake, birthday cake, and candy apple. Now theyre expanding into another pretty standard flavor

[quote]M&Ms aren’t as aggressively into new and exotic flavors as, say, Nabisco’s Oreo cookies, but they have experimented with holiday-themed flavors like gingerbread, pumpkin spice, vanilla shake, birthday cake, and candy apple. Now they’re expanding into another pretty standard flavor in the Flavors of Fall repertoire: pecan pie M&Ms have been spotted at Walmart. Not pecan M&Ms, of course, because that would mean figuring out how to integrate a whole new type of nut into the candy-shelled candies. These are humble chocolate candies with artificial pecan flavoring to them, probably disappointingly similar to the flavor blasted on the pecan pie Pringles that were available a few years ago.

The key ingredient in pecan pie is corn syrup (pecan pie was originally called Karo Pie.) Maybe this is a flavor to disguise the use of high fructose corn syrup.

The *true* key ingredient in pecan pie is molasses. Only cheap Northerners use corn syrup.

Funny, R2, I consider molasses to be more of a New England flavor than a southern one. I never heard of pecan pie made with molasses. Thanks for sharing that info.

P.S. I am glad we kicked your asses in the Civil War. Slavery is wrong.

Molasses was very cheap and farmer's wives could pick it up cheap at roadside stands. It wasn't until the 1950s or 60s when Karo came along that women started picking it up at the Piggley Wiggley and using it in place of molasses.

Molasses gives a pecan pie a better flavor, especially if you get blackstrap molasses. The pungent flavor of blackstrap gives the pie a deeper flavor and offsets the sweetness and balances the flavor when the pie is served with a dollop of ice cream. Karo just gives it an artificial sweetness.

And r3, while slavery is wrong, the South remained a farming environment long after the North turned industrial. The North couldn't grow cotton to make their own underwear, they had to depend on the South if they wanted underwear. It's not taught in schools today, but the South almost won the war.

Making pecan pie with Karo corn syrup dates to the 1930s.

But Southern farm women didn't use it. They could buy molasses cheaper.

Then why did you call Northerners cheap (as R2) for using the more expensive Karo?

As long as it's not cut with corn syrup. A lot of molasses producers add corn syrup as an extender. If you can get pure molasses it makes a really great pie.

Even though I realize this is another 2015 Bump Bitch™ thread, I have to mention that pretty much everything R6 said is false. R13 isn't far behind.

No, pecan pie was not originally made with molasses. No, molasses is not cut with corn syrup as an "extender." Pure molasses is readily available in US groceries.

Blackstrap molasses has a strong bitter and tannic flavor that many object to, which is why it's not used much anymore. Molasses existed mainly because it was a cheap sweetener since it is a byproduct of sugar making. What people really want(ed) is sugar, which was more expensive, in the manner R6 buys crystal meth because it's cheaper than cocaine.

Blackstrap molasses would make your pecan pie taste like shoo-fly pie, and you would probably want to dump the whole thing in the trash. If you want a molasses flavor in your pie, use Karo dark syrup, which has some molasses added for flavor.

Karo corn syrup, which is glucose syrup not HFCS, is less sweet than sugar or molasses, is not artificial, and does not give an artificial sweetness. Rather, corn syrup provides structure and smooth texture to the pie filling.

Corn syrup can be made via chemical or enzymatic means. In the early history of Karo, it was made through chemical methods; now it is made with enzymes. Karo has been around for 119 years. Corn syrup has been made since the early 1800s.

I decry all innovation in classic confections. Give me plain and peanut M&Ms—and NO BLUE.

Miss r18 why do you insist on no blue? Don’t you know the tan were too similar to brown? Besides, it’s just food dye. They all taste the same.

R18, I’ll take the blue M&Ms off your hands.

Why Defacto? Why a dumb pecan pie thread from 6 years ago? Please explain the psychology behind this?

R21 I figured pecan pie would distract you from Donald Trump, or something.
