    - is that salted or unsalted faery tears? or as the fey folk would say, upland or marsh faery? -- nm - Zhu-Zhugeist Dec 21, 19:13
Yes. -- nm - the liioulu with icicles Dec 21, 18:53 1
- as long as there's five pounds of dark belgian chocolate with it -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Dec 21, 19:17
you don't have salt? -- nm - dogbert Dec 21, 18:50 4
- There is salt in the recipe, which I will add. Do I need to compensate for the unsalted butter as well? -- nm - ty97 Dec 21, 18:53 3
  - if you decide to, this link says 1/2 tspn of salt for every cup of butter, but no, you don't have to. -- (link) - TFox Dec 21, 18:55
  - don't worry about it, I don't think butter is a salt lick to begin with -- nm - Zhu-Zhugeist Dec 21, 18:55
  - You don't. -- nm - the liioulu with icicles Dec 21, 18:54
You'll have to add 2lbs of butter instead. -- nm - Paula Deen Dec 21, 18:49
Sure. And since you only found salted peanuts, everything should balance out! - Roger More Dec 21, 18:46
Sure. Add some salt. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 21, 18:46
Should be fine. A lot of sweet recipes call for unsalted. -- nm - MistletoeMeg Dec 21, 18:46 1
- but chocolate needs salt, doesn't it? -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 21, 18:47
if the recipe does not call for salt, you will have to add some. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 21, 18:46
