Vanilla
This recipe is hand-written in my book. I got it from mom, who says she got it from "the Super Store's bargain banana bag".
Mix together and refrigerate:
- 1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1/8 tsp. ginger
Dip apples and strawberries.

2 cups graham wafer crumbs
1 cup coconut
1/2 cup chopped or ground walnuts or pecans
Press into a greased 9x13 pan. Cool.
For the icing:
Cream together:
