Let me tell you, if you haven’t had one yet, you should.  It’s the decadent “cupcake cousin” of the long-time popular candy bar, and it’s delicious!

As for the remainder of Hollywood’s Quick Service options, you’d recommend them to family and friends in this order – the All in WDW Readers’ Favorite Top 5 Hollywood Studios Quick Services!

  1. Starring Rolls Cafe
  2. Backlot Express

Great work, everyone!  At some point in the future, we’re going discuss Hollywood’s Quick Services again, though.

Why, you ask?  Well, the comments I saw over the past two days suggest that they are all candidates for our “Rehabilitate or Eliminate” feature!

Hey!  Maybe its time we took it into our own hands and improved dining at the Studios for Disney!

Your FAVORITE Hollywood Studios Quick Service? VOTE!

Good morning, my friends!  Welcome back to All in WDW!  Are you ready to hit the polls?  Once again, it’s time to vote!

How could I take all of that time last weekend to stroll past Sunset Boulevard’s Quick Services and leave some of them “un-visited”?  Which did I miss, you ask?

Well, we haven’t dropped by Anaheim Produce as yet.  I know.  Fruit.  Wouldn’t hand-dipped ice cream be more enticing?  However, we’ve neglected Hollywood Scoops as well!

How Do You Make a Butterfinger Cupcake?

Did you get a chance to tackle yesterday’s Butterfinger Challenge?  No?  Then, by all means, stop right here and go back to register your response!  I won’t “spill” the answer for a few paragraphs yet.

I have to admit, now made by Nestlé, a Butterfinger is pretty high up on my list of favorite candy bars.  Also favorites of mine are Snickers, Milky Way, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, for what it’s worth.

Of course, I’m almost always on a diet of some kind or another, so I don’t get much chance to enjoy any of these little goodies.  Such is life.

Butterfinger Cupcake

Originally introduced in 1923, the Butterfinger was initially produced by the Curtiss Candy Company of Chicago, Illinois.

A candy bar consisting of a flaky, crisp, orange-colored, peanut butter-flavored center, this chocolate-covered treat makes for a great ingredient in cakes, ice creams, pies and cupcakes alike!

Before I leave you for the day, I thought you’d appreciate this.  I found the recipe and a link to an instructional video(!) for the infamous Starring Rolls delight at a web site called The Disney Diner.

Follow this link to see the secrets and if you want to answer the question, “How do you make a Butterfinger cupcake?”  And, hey!  If you do try to recreate this gem, please send me a picture at [email protected].  I’ll publish it on the site!
