chocolate squares – RECIPES FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS

APPLE BROWNIES…MMM..SOUNDS GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT

Another recipe from “Toots”, my Mother’s friend, who also happened to be a registered nurse. She was not only a great nurse, but also a good cook. This recipe in her handwriting says, “it’s good”. I believe her.

Cream 1/2 cup melted oleo with 1 cup sugar.

Add one egg.

Sift 1 cup flour, 1/tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp soda, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp cinnamon.

Add to cream mix and mix well.

Stir in 3 medium apples peeled & sliced thin & 1/2 cup nuts.

Place in 9×9 pan-greased.

Bake @ 350 deg. 40-45 minutes.

“Will be moist & good”

Caramel Layer Chocolate Squares

My recipe paper shows the date October 13, 1986. A pre-printed caption at the top says ‘JUST A NOTE FROM…TOOTS”. Everyone called my Mother’s friend, “Toots”. As I recall, her name was Violet although not many folks knew that. She was a registered nurse, as was my Mother, and they worked together for years and were best friends. Toots was a wonderful cook. If the recipe has her name on it, and it does, then I know it’s a good one. Hope it turns out well for you. (I’m writing it exactly as Toots wrote it.)

Mix pkg caramels with 1/3 C. evap. milk. Heat until caramels are melted. Melt 1//2 C. (or little more) of oleo. Mix pkg. German Choc cake mix, melted oleo and 1/3 C. canned milk & 1 C. chopped nuts by hand until dough sticks to-gether. Grease & flour 9×13 pan. Place 1/2 of cake mix on bottom of pan. Bake @ 350 Deg. for 6 min.

Sprinkle 1 C. choc chips over baked crust. Spread caramel mixture over choc. chips. Crumble remaining cake mixture over caramel mix.

Bake 350 Deg 15-18 min. Cool slightly. Refrigerate 30 min. to set caramel mixture. Cut into squares.

I’ve never tried making this recipe. But, I just gained 10 pounds while I was typing it out.
