Chocolate
This was Alleia's 13th birthday treat -- a keeper for sure!
We had these while visiting some friends in Minneapolis and they were really good.
From an advertisement in the November 2009 issue of Homemaker's magazine. I've had several people ask for this recipe one of whom is Elbert. Here is the recipe. This recipe fits in an 8 inch square pan. I like to double the recipe and then bake it in a glass 10X13 inch pan.
This recipe is adapted from a collection of Christmas recipes I looked through in December. It makes cookies that taste a lot like peppermint brownies. We all like them a lot.
Yet more advice from a fellow dumpster diver on how to use up all those bananas. She says: "found online..this tastes good with strawberries and sugar on top."
These muffins have been made often by our family. The recipe is from the early 1970's when I was new here and we made a Calvinette cookbook. We like them, and over the years we have come up with some variations.
Going through our bar recipe files makes me hungry for some of the "old standbys" which we haven’t used for some time. Here is one that easily makes a big batch (it makes two 9x13 pans).
A real favorite at our house. They are similar to a recipe on p. 46 of the Western Christian High cookbook. It is one tidbit of information that has remained in my head from my high school days (1962-66)!
I made this recipe back in my days at 1311 Second Avenue. It was one of the experiments- and was written out. Darla found it not too long ago.

I guess the chocolate chips are what gave this recipe its name. Our recipe came from Gert.
