| In this recipe you find that peanut butter is not just for PB&J sandwiches. These cookies require no baking just like the PB&J sandwiches.
These make great Christmas candy gifts. |
| Pralines are a wonderful sweet Southern tradition. Timing is the key to make these candies a success. Not yet rated |

| As the old sayings goes, you never know when you are going to meet a friend or get a recipe you have been looking for. We were on a bus trip to Branson, Missouri where I indeed met a new friend. If you ever have been to Branson, you know how much fun the shows can be. You always eat too much but that is also part of the fun - going to new places to eat.
For years now I had been looking for a basic cake that my Mom would make - she called it a "Masse Pain".
A little history here....in the middle of the afternoon at 3:00pm, while we were working in the fields as young children, our father would allow us to take a break from picking peppers or cotton or cutting sugar cane. What a nice guy?
He allowed us to go in at the "end of the row" and eat a piece of cake that Momma baked along with a glass of sugar water to drink; We did not know this then but the sugar rush gave us the energy we needed to complete the rest of our afternoon's work.
Finally on this trip I meant a really nice lady, named Maxine, who went through a scavenger hunt to get her Aunt Beaul's Masse Pain recipe for me. Masse means (together) and Pain means(bread). So the assumption is to bring all the ingredients to gether and make a bread.

"Sometimes I feel like a nut - Sometimes I don't. Almond joy has nuts - Mounds don't!"
This cake is so reminiscent of the Almond Joy candy bar. It always gets our author rave reviews. Try this cake at your next family function or work gathering. You surely will feel like a nut - I mean winner!!!
Technically, marshmallows are a confection -- a candy. They've been around in the form we know them since the mid-1800s. They are called "marshmallows" because part of the early recipe called for sap from the root of the marshmallow plant.

| How wonderful to have a recipe from such a lovely Cajun Ma Ma. I wonder how many Cajun dished this lovely 92 year old lady has prepared. |

| After this cake is baked you seal it in an airtight container and refrigerate it for three days before serving. Some things are worth waiting for.
You will have everyone asking, "Is it cake yet?"
This recipe was handed down from a cook named Linda Roy. |
