You don't find too many people today that make peanut brittle - it's easier to buy in the store. But it won't be as good as my Aunt Elizabeth's peanut brittle. I remember when I was little and she would be visiting from Springfield, Illinois and she made this up. She buttered down the whole kitchen table and that is where she would pour the brittle to set up. Aunt Elizabeth was married to your Grandpa F's brother.

Because indulging in layers of sinful chocolate and decadent cream is the closest you'll get to a taste-gasm.

This recipe came from Mary Hoehn. She made the best pie - and made the crust from scratch. She would always bake Denny an apple pie anytime he helped them out with some project.

This is a family recipe that came from Pat Williams that Granny always made and it came from your Great-Grandma Frysinger (Granny’s mother in law). Granny never had a recipe for it...she just made it. So after watching her make it, pat eventually came up with what she things are the correct ingredients and it tastes like Granny’s!

From your Dad’s Aunt Pat - she makes the best pecan pie - I always enjoy it at Thanksgiving.

Mmm good. This recipe came from Mary Hoehn, who was our first neighbor on Breese Road. My first Mother’s Day, I made this pie and we enjoyed it with Grandma and Grandpa F. at Johnny Appleseed Park for a picnic. Jennifer was 13 months old and Carrie was on the way.

This pie is a sassy symphony of crisp apples, decadent caramel, and a downright rebellious crunch that'll have you saying, "Move over, ordinary desserts!"

The love child of a classic dessert and a cozy breakfast, giving you the best of both worlds in a single bite.

This is one of your Dad’s favorite pies - I didn’t make it very often - probably because I did not like bananas!

A friend went shopping at Neiman-Marcus in November 1987 and ate lunch. For dessert she had a cookie. She thought it was the most wonderful cookie she had ever tasted, and asked if the recipe was available. She was told that it was but there was a charge of “two-fifty”. She said that was fine, and she got the recipe and told them just to charge her account. When she got her bill in December, there was a charge of $250.00 on it. She called Neiman-Marcus and told them there must be a mistake, that the charge should be $2.50. She was told there was no mistake... that the $250.00 charge was correct! She has vowed to get them back, and wants to get this recipe out to everyone she possible can. She wants everyone who gets a copy to send or give it to everyone they know. Besides, the cookie is one of the most delicious ever, so here it is.

I was never good making cut out cookies for some reason (no chocolate???) But Bev sure could make good ones!

Crunchy attitude meets a decadent dance of cocoa and nuts in every sassy bite

This recipe was one I found when you girls were young and was a nutritious snack. We make it a lot - and I ate a lot of them too! I always made them with the Karo corn syrup.

One of our families favorites, a little bit different than Grandmas.

Categories: Cookies, Desserts
Hope that the girls like these. (It is like Buckeyes only in a flat pan)

The original recipe called for 6 oz pkg of chocolate chips. (It is easier for me to resist the Cocoa when snacking, so I make that substitution!) You can also add a handful of marshmallows with the peanut butter (keeps the bars softer and stretches the amount). Add more cereal as needed. Love from Grandma Fuhrwerk
