This is a bread Mom used to make quite often. The recipe says it is for 9 - size 303 cans. It can also be baked in a large loaf pan, or two small ones.
Mom worked for Olson's for a while. Mom always appreciated how Mrs. Olson always looked forward to a cup of coffee with her in mid morning.

A friend gave me this recipe in the 70s. It is a nice 'dainty' square for a special occasion. It is a 'no bake recipe, nice for a hot summer day.
