I've never been sure about it, so I usually try to link to the original source unless I made significant changes in a recipe.<br /><br />What I was thinking of in this case (and should have specified) was the use of the trademarked name Almond Joy. Home cooks would have no problem titling a recipe this way, but a national magazine might be a little leery of it. <br /><br />The muffins are good, and chopping up Needhams to use instead of the Almond Joy is a great idea.

Cooking is such a universal, common activity that it would be impossible to do. Sometimes, I see that very slight variations are made in recipes, but whether that is in a “noble” effort to not copy or is just a matter of taste after all. I try to “give credit where credit is due” as I know most bloggers do, but the fact is, there is no legal requirement to do so. <br /><br />All that and I find this: https://blogs.findlaw.com/law_and_life/2013/06/can-you-copyright-a-recipe.html<br /><br />I’d say that in general, unless dealing with celebrity chefs and bakers, that a recipe can not be copyrighted. They are simply too common and ubiquitous. <br /><br />These muffins sound delightful. I’d be tempted to use chopped up Needhams. 🙂Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
