Jackie’s Potato Candy
It wouldn't have been a Christmas get-together at Pat Carmen's house without Jackie's Potato Candy. Jackie, my sister-in-law, always made this potato candy--strange ingredient?--to take to holiday parties at church or to homes of friends and family. It has been...
Fruity Crispy Rice Treats
Does this Fruity Crispy Rice Treats recipe seem a bit familiar to you? It should because it is an adaptation from the original Rice Krispie Treats recipe you grew up with and that you have probably made for your kids or friends for years--decades even. The first...
