Get the scoop on profiteroles

Aprofiteroles. It’s fun to let it roll off the tongue, even more fun to indulge in these pate au choux puffs filled with custard or ice cream and usually drizzled with chocolate sauce. Michelle Borisch is seeking them, and as usual, Taste of the Town readers have suggestions.

Lois Rosenberg recommended Pamplemousse Restaurant at 400 E. Sahara Ave., and Ann Brown recommended Patisserie Manon at 8751 W. Charleston Blvd.

John Mckibben said his Grape

Street Cafe, Wine Bar & Cellar in Downtown Summerlin serves them with chocolate, raspberry and caramel sauces.

For Al Delacruz, who’s looking for pork hocks, Therese Ainsworth suggested Walmart Neighborhood Market at 400 E. Silverado Ranch Blvd.

More on Clark Bars: Jane Goldberg recommended oldtimecandy.com, under the “pre 1920s” tab. The site carries various sizes and packages, and other hard-to-find favorites such as Abba-zabas and Charleston Chews — and more variations of Dubble Bubble than any of us knew existed.
