This book is a collection of favorite recipes culled from a large stack of faded, spilled on, scribbled on spiral notebooks kept by my grandmother, Eleanor Drew Hooper, and my mom, Ann Hooper Muncaster. Both have passed away now— Grammy so long ago I can barely remember her warm embrace; my mom so recently I can still think it might be her when the phone rings.
There are a couple of recipes in mom’s cookbook. I’m not sure which was her favorite but the brown sugar one is awesome. I’ll list the 2 variations—Polly’s traditional one, and the one from he Diamond Walnut bag stuck inside. My opinion is the brown sugar is chewier and more, uh, homey.
I’m now in the possession of a large stack of faded, spilled on, scribbled on, spiral books from my grandmother, Eleanor Drew Hooper, and my mom, Ann Hooper Muncaster. Both have passed away, Grammy so long ago I can barely remember her warm embrace, but my mom so recently I can still hear her voice on the phone. Sure, I have photos and memorabilia…
These are seriously addicting ewwy-gooey-chewy treats.
