General Goods

In Jerry Spinelli's young-adult novel Maniac Magee, the main character, Jeffrey Lionel Maniac Magee, enjoys eating Tastykake Butterscotch Krimpets. The story is set in the fictional town of Two Mills, Pennsylvania, which is based on real-life Norristown, northwest of Philadelphia, where Spinelli grew up.

i love tastykakes. here in charelston, sc they are not sold in the grocery stores; but jersey mikes sells butterscotch krimpets and chocolate juniors and peanute butter tandy cakes. unfortunately, they do not sell the lemon or the blueberry pies. i get my fix when i go to pa, but that is not often. thanks for the recipe.

Anyway, recently I tried the Tastykake Butterscotch Krimpets, which are Twinkie-sized pieces of sponge cake with butterscotch icing on top. It sounded wonderful, it had a nice moist texture, it wasng’t too sweet, and it tasted all right, but I was slightly disappointed with them because they didn ’t seem to have a butterscotch taste at all. However, for some reason, I did detect a slight beef jerky aftertaste.

Besides the beef jerky aftertaste, another thing that disturbed me about the Tastykake Butterscotch Krimpets happened when I placed one on top of two sheets of paper for about 30 seconds. When I lifted it off of the paper it left an oily mark on it. I wouldnn’t have noticed this if I had a plate, but heaven has no plates thanks to Jeffersonp’s attempts to balance spinning plates on sticks.
