bluefish, please don't get too down on the feedback you receive. Try as I may I have given up trying to control the way people respond to my questions. When I don't get the information I was looking for from a community I just remind myself that the people who responded put there own time and effort trying to help me without me giving them anything. I thank them for their response then focus on the people who gave me information that was more helpful. For instance (to toot my own horn) I thought I gave you a pretty good lead to make honey stingers on your own. Lori, who comes across as abrasive to some people, also gave you some good info. Namely, that she found rice syrup works better for these types of recipes than honey.

I have taken stroopwafels, which I think are very similar. Heck, Loganbread, which seems quite popular around here, is pretty darn close to a honey stinger and a handful of gorp.
