What is the purpose of the cream soda? I am from South Africa so ours is green. Is it meant to be?
Can the Butterscotch Schnapps be substituted with something else?
This sounds wonderful...but what am I missing with respect to the bowl of what I assume are "butter" caramels? (which also look wonderful)
To Duitmu, cream soda in the U.S. is a sweet, carbonated soft drink that gets most of its flavor from vanilla. There are recipes to make your own online (have never tried that, nor am I a fan of cream soda, but can see what it would add to this recipe).
