Chocolate Sauce

July 25th is National ice cream Sundae Day.  This is a simple sauce that works great for  Sundaes!  

P.S.  It is also national chili dog day.

 

No Bake Cheesecake

This is a quick easy recipe that is great to freeze. I have put raspberry and carrot filling in.

Tongass Forest Cookies

I was reading a book about Alaska that mentioned these cookies. This is a combination of a few different recipes I found and us changing it a little.

If using sweetened coconut, reduce sugar!

Dark Chocolate Brownies

I wanted a really dark chocolate brownie for a dessert idea. I did not have one that would work so I fixed one up.

Andrea’s Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting

These are a nice, soft cupcake. Many who taste them say they are the “best” cupcakes they have ever had. She has also had a few people who do not like cupcakes compliment them and eat more than one.

Caramel Corn

Our neighbor, Miss Margaret gave us this recipe over ten years ago. She was a wonderful friend to my grandma and they spent many hours just enjoying each other’s company every summer.

One day we accidentally made this with half the butter. It still tasted very good. Allan said that either recipe “melts in your mouth”.

For reference 2 tablespoons of kernels, about an ounce of kernels, will make approximately four cups (one quart) of popped corn. You will need around 3/4 cups of kernels for this recipe. Be sure to remove the unpopped or partially popped seeds before making.

Marble Cookie Squares

Another recipe from Aunt Bonnie’s recipe box. We baked ours in a pie pan which worked very well also. The card did not included time to bake, but we just let our set up like a cookie.

One thing I really like about many of the recipes from Aunt Bonnie is the recipe makes a small amount. There was enough here for us, but no left overs. I am not sure when she copied this recipe, but when I looked it up, it looks like it was popular in the early 1960’s.
