I'm sure the flavor would be the same all through the bar, it just surprised

As Gomer Pyle would say: "SURPRISE!, SURPRISE!".

In reading Your post it makes me want to look up Margarine on Wikipedia,
to see what other interesting things I can find out about Margarine.
Thanks.

Somewhere in the back of My mind is the thought that Margarine is better
to use than Butter.

Maybe I'm confusing Butter with some references about Lard not being good
for the body???

A friend where I worked told Me Chicken isn't any good unless it is cooked
in Lard.
