with powdered sugar. Start at side and roll up towel<br />
and cake. Let cool completely.<br />
Beat all filling ingredients together until smooth.<br />
Unroll the cake. Spread the filling on cake. Roll<br />
back up (without the towel). Wrap in waxed paper<br />
and then with foil. Chill. Best if prepared the day<br />
before and allowed to chill overnight. Keep<br />
refrigerated.<br />
Hershey Bar Pie<br />
• 18 to 20 large marshmallows<br />
• 7 Hershey bars with almonds<br />
• 1/3 cup milk<br />
• 16 oz. Cool Whip<br />
• 1 graham cracker crust<br />
Combine marshmallows, Hershey bars (break<br />
them into small pieces) and milk in a double boiler<br />
or microwave safe dish. Heat on low until melted.<br />
Stir until everything is combined. Add 1/2 of the<br />
Cool Whip. Mix well and spoon into graham<br />
cracker crust.<br />
Let chill for several hours. Top with the rest of the<br />
Cool Whip and shave chocolate over the top.<br />
Butterscotch<br />
Haystacks<br />
• 1-2/3 cups butterscotch morsels<br />
• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter<br />
• 1 8.5 oz. can or 2 5 oz. cans of chow mein<br />
noodles<br />
• 3-1/2 cups miniature marshmallows<br />
Line trays with wax paper. Microwave morsels in<br />
large, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on medium<br />
high power for 1 minute; stir. The morsels may<br />
retain some of their original shape. If necessary,<br />
microwave at additional 10 to 15 second intervals,<br />
stirring just until morsels are melted. Stir in the<br />
peanut butter until well blended. Add chow mein<br />
noodles and marshmallows; toss until all ingredients<br />
are coated. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto<br />
prepared trays.<br />
You may also add a 1/2 cup of chopped nuts,<br />
either peanuts or pecans if you like.<br />
Dill Pickle Dip<br />
• 8 oz. of cream cheese, softened<br />
• Chopped dill pickles, preferably a spicy or<br />
garlic variety (about half a jar of the spears)<br />
• 1 to 2 Tbsp. of juice from the jar<br />
• 1 small sweet onion, chopped<br />
• 1 tsp garlic powder<br />
• 1 to 2 tsp of dill (fresh or dried)<br />
• Tabasco to taste (optional)<br />
Chop pickles and onion. Mix all ingredients in a<br />
large bowl. Cover and let set in refrigerator for at<br />
least two hours, preferably overnight. You may<br />
need to add a little more pickle juice if it is too<br />
thick. Serve with chips.<br />
Sweet Potato<br />
Dumplings<br />
• 1½ cups sugar<br />
• 1 Tbsp. Karo syrup<br />
(add a little more to make more syrupy)<br />

• 1/2 pkg. sweet potato patties<br />
(sliced yams in freezer case)<br />
• 1 can Grands flaky biscuits<br />
Mix and boil first four ingredients for 10 minutes.<br />
Add a little cinnamon. Half the biscuits and put<br />
potato patty inside. Gently pinch the edges to seal.<br />
Do not mash the top of biscuits.<br />
Place in casserole dish and pour boiled mixture<br />
over it. Bake at 375 until brown on top about 20<br />
to 25 minutes. You will have enough potato patties<br />
for two recipes if you double the other ingredients.<br />
A single batch will make 8.<br />
