Subject: Peanut butter chocolate bars
Am searching for recipe I remember from the 1970s that my Mom made. We lived in the Pacific Northwest and
the recipe was shared among several people, so it seems like it may have been popular there. She has lost
the recipe and isn't in touch with anyone who might have it We've tried to replicate it but can't match it.
What we remember:
A cookie dough of some sort was made and about half was patted into the pan. We're pretty sure no peanut
butter was used in the dough.
Chocolate bars, e.g. Hershey's, were spread with peanut butter and placed on top of the dough.
The remaining dough was placed over this, and they were baked.
I've searched high and low online for this to no avail. I've tried Hershey's, Nestles, and peanut butter sites.
You'd think the dough could be a standard cookie dough, but when I tried it, it wasn't right.
Thanks!
Debbie

I am looking for the recipe Norwegian Cupcakes I had a metropalitian cookbook from back in the 50s or early 60s

My dad wasn't a cake eating and I made those cupcakes and he liked them.
I Thank You ahead of time hope you can help me

Hello Carol,
I had no success finding a “Norwegian cupcakes” recipe from “The Metropolitan Cookbook.” The only “Norwegian cupcakes”
recipe that I could find is the one here: Norwegian Vanilla Cupcakes.
The cookbook that I am familiar with that has the name “Metropolitan Cookbook” is a small cookbook that was put out in
several editions by The Metropolitan Insurance Company. I found two versions available online, but neither one has a
recipe for “Norwegian Cupcakes.”
See these sites for those versions:
Archive.lib.msu.edu
archive.org
There are used copies of other versions available at Amazon. See:

Subject: Morrisons Thousand Island dressing
Dear Phaedrus,
I have longed for the thousand Island dressing that Morrisons served in their cafeterias.
Would you have the recipe?
Thank you,
Linda
Hello Linda,
The recipe for thousand island dressing from the Morrison’s Kitchen Manual that I have is below.
This is a food service recipe and it makes a large quantity. You’ll have to cut it down for home use.
There is a “from scratch” Morrison’s mayonnaise recipe if you want it, but Hellman’s is the closest
commercial brand. To get the taste right, do not use Miracle Whip or other “salad dressing” of that type.
You should be aware that in the years before they closed, they had begun buying some products from
Food Service companies instead of making them from scratch, and the dressing (and the mayonnaise)
may have been among those.
Phaed
Morrison’s Thousand Island Dressing
Mayonnaise 10 lbs
Chili Sauce 4 lbs
Sweet Pickle Relish 2 lbs
Chopped Hard Boiled Eggs 10 ozs
Worcestershire Sauce 2 ozs
Place mayonnaise in mixing bowl. Add chili sauce; blend thoroughly.
Add relish and blend.
Add chopped eggs and Worcestershire Sauce. Blend thoroughly.
Thousand Island Dressing may be prepeared in advance and kept under refrigeration,
thus assuring us of an ample supply.
