Food Nostalgia

[ainjel]

I caught myself wanting 1-2-3 Jello the other day. My mom used to make it for us all the time and it always seemed to taste better than regular jello. I know there are tons of recipes for similar stuff but the prepackaged stuff always made it so easy and it tasted great.

What other foods does everyone miss?

There were some little sugar/spice covered mini donuts that we used to get in the freezer section. I can't remember who made them, maybe Morton's. They were so crisp and sweet and delicious. I miss them.

Hostess Little Angels!! Those were cute little cakes and we used to enjoy them. With a glass of chocolate milk made with Bosco chocolate syrup! Also - I wish they still made VEEP - a lemon/lime drink! I wish I could find all 3 of them again!

I'm always searching for this recipe for a chocolate, oatmeal drop cookie that was served in my high school. They were super yummy!

Traciray - is this what you are looking for?

* 3/4 cup flour
* 1/4 cup cocoa (Hershey's or equivalent)
* 1/2 teaspoon soda
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
* 1/2 cup margarine or shortening
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 1/2 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
* 1 egg
* 1 cup quick oats
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
* 1 cup chocolate chips
* Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts

Sift together and set aside flour, cocoa, soda, salt and baking powder. Blend together shortening and sugars. Add egg and beat until light and fluffy. Add flour mixture, mix well. Add oats, vanilla, chocolate chips and nuts if used.

Drop by teaspoon onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes for soft cookies, or 12 minutes for crisp cookies.

I loved all the diffrent TWIX candy bar varieties...

I came across this in our kitchen cabinet yesterday. It was tucked way back in the back corner. I looked at it and thought about making it, but the package said 3 hours prep time so I put it back. The picture makes the box look a little aged, but it's not. But, honestly, I don't remember when I bought it.

[Mama Mangia]

You may have the last box ever made! LOL

You may have to keep that under lock and key!!

[spiceplace]

Just put it in the safe
