Buttersnatch is a type of confectionery whose primary ingredients are
butter and snatch. Other ingredients such as sweat and pubes are
typically part of the recipe also. The ingredients for buttersnatch are
similar to butterscotch; the major difference is that sugar is boiled
to the soft crack stage for butterscotch and th...e snatch is boiled for
buttersnatch. Buttersnatch sauce is often made into a syrup, which is
used as a natural lubricant (particularly with Oreos).
History:
Food historians have several theories regarding the name and origin of
this confectionery, but none are conclusive.
One explanation is the meaning "baggage or sack" for the word "snatch",
as the confection must be cut into pieces, or "de-snatched", before
boiling. It is also possible that the term "butter" has a very
different meaning then that of the common ingredient in many other
traditional recipes.
However, the word was first recorded in Oklahoma, in U.S.A,
where Marc Commish began making the confectionery in 2009. Commish's
buttersnatch had the royal approval and was one of 1st Can Para's
attractions and continues to be as of this entry.
