Notes
Fun Fact!:
Pink M&M’s did not exist when Elf was in production. Instead, the props team used Smarties, colorful chocolate candies that are only available in Canada (where Elf was filmed) and Europe. Smarties can be ordered online to accurately replicate Buddy’s famous dish. This recipe is from my Unofficial Elf Cookbook.
