Reviews
fed this to my monkeys, they did not like it very not realistic for a monkeys diet, if you are a monkey/gorilla owner i would not recomend making it for them, but i had a bite and tapped into my inner monkey after eating it and slept in the cage that night
Just finished making this and it turned out really delicious.I melted the butter on the stove and poured it over the rest of the ingredients and ended up nuking it for 30 seconds, mixed, and 15 more seconds. It melted perfectly. It makes a whole lot so when it came time to put in the powdered sugar, I divided it among two 1 gallon Ziploc bags and shook it in that. There is info missing on the ingredients. It says 1/3 malted milk pwd, so I assumed it meant cups.
