Since one of my book clubs is meeting to dissect Steinbeck’s Sweet Thursday, I wondered what an appropriate sweet snack might be to motivate the discussion.
Ideas from the pages:
- The Seer gets arrested when he escalates from stealing one Baby Ruth or Mounds candy bar to three from the Safeway;
- Elegant Joe bakes a cake with marshmallow topping;
- Doc sprinkles chocolate over sausages.
Took the easy way – Baby Ruths and Mounds but decided to play it safe and buy them.

I think he’s better known for Grapes of Wrath and Cannery Row. This is one of his later books.
John Steinbeck and chocolate. It’s the best of everything!
We had tasty sardine spread too.
Sardine spread? I didn’t even know there was such a thing.
