Grandma Bea's Haystacks, were originally called "Chocolate Delights" and the recipe was in the 1950 version of the "Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book" page 28 in Chapter 7. I was so excited. I quickly paged through the chapter only to discover that page 28 is missing. How could that happen? I remember making those cookies many times because they were so easy. They were made with melted chocalate chips, crushed cornflakes and (I think), Angel Flake coconut. Ask Aunt Janice, she probably has or remembers the recipe.
Really??? You see why I don't mess with recipe titles? I can't keep 'em straight! So you're saying that these don't even resemble Grandma's haystacks?
Wait a minute... I know Grandma made these and my recipe (butterscotch/peanutbutter with Chinese noodles) would look a heck of a lot more like actual haystacks than what you're describing chocolate/coconut crushed cornflakes (I won't say what those might look like but it sounds like something you might find out in a cow pasture). Are you sure the chocolate ones weren't called, oh I don't know..."Chocolate Delights" maybe?
But who knows? After you and Dad tried to poison me with that gas leak in the garage my memory just hasn't been the same. (heh heh heh...the gas leak always gets her.) So what did Grandma call the peanut butter/butterscotch thingies?
I almost had to call you out on the "I remember making those cookies many times..." line. I was thinking, "yeah like YOU made cookies!" But then the cornflake thing triggered something in my memory. I DO remember you making some chocolate cornflake thingies. You kept them in the refrigerator in a tupperware container and they were my favorite. I was always sneaking in there to get one when nobody was looking. So you're telling me they had coconut in them? I usually don't like coconut. I'll have to make some of these but I think I'm going to call them, "Chocolate Thingies."
Those were NOT Chocolate Thingies, they were delicious "Chocolate Delights" and they were so simple. Yes I did keep them in the refrigerator in tupperware. I really did a lot more cooking and baking before Danny and You came along. . . I love you both, so don't take that as some kind of "insult". Grandma Bea did make a cookie with butterscotch chips and Chinese noodles. I don't remember her calling them Haystacks but maybe she did. They were good. Heck, have you ever run into a BAD cookie? I haven't!
