blend powdered sugar and crunchy peanut butter together to make balls, refrigerate the balls, then dip the balls in barely melted chocolate leaving the peanut butter to 'peek' out from the chocolate, looking kinda like a buckeye nut.

Making the sausage balls up with ham sausage and freezing a few dozen for baking whenever is my favorite way. Make the sausage balls about the size of a pingpong ball and they're great 'hors d'oeuvre's'

So many memories. My MIL always made ferden for Christmas, so I bought a pan and made that, turned out great. My mother made the most gorgeous crescent rolls and English tea rings for special gifts, I made one once, too much work! The one thing she made that everybody loved was peanut brittle. That’s about the only thing I don’t like and never did. I love butter toffee though. And butter caramels. And on an on lol.

It's a standard Philadelphia Cream Cheese no bake cheese cake.


When it comes to baked New York style, nothing beats a Baby Watson.

Years ago my son and I were making peanut butter fudge for gifts to merchants in our Pleasant Grove village. We made three or four batches successfully, but the last batch we made didn't have enough marshmallow and it never 'solidified', so we made it into an ice cream topping! That topping became famous around the neighborhood with the kids who were always visiting just when a churn of ice cream was running on the back deck (the batch was more than a quart of 'stuff'). ;^)

I made a habit of cutting at least two watermelons in the yard when I brought them home as a 'favorite dad' in the neighborhood, foodwise. I've always love the little ones.
