Needhams (Maine Potato Candy)


  • 2/3 cup mashed potatoes (with no butter or salt)
  • 2 pounds confectioners sugar
  • 1 large package coconut

mix all and spread onto jelly roll pan. chill. cut into cubes about 2" square

melt 1 large package semi sweet or dark chocolate chips with 1/3 bar baker's wax (paraffin).

dip cubes into chocolate and set out on wax paper. chill.

Peanut butter balls (My favorite and better than Reeces cups)


3 Cups Rice Krispies cereal (or generic)
2 Cups powdered sugar
1 18 oz jar of Peanut Butter (I like Jif the best)
1 stick of melted margarine
3 Cups semi sweet chips
1 to 2 inch square of paraffin wax

Combine all ingredients except chocolate chips. Mix well with hands and shape into 1/2 to 1 inch balls and chill 1 hour. While the balls are chilling Melt semi sweet chips and paraffin in a double boiler. Using fork and spoon dip balls in chocolate mixture place on wax paper and chill.
Makes approx. 72 balls

Easy Cobbler

1 plain Yellow Cake Mix

2 Cans Pie Filling of your Choice

1 1/2 Sticks of Butter

I used an 11 x 7 pan but you can also use a 9x9 pan. Pour pie filling into the pan (can use fruit in heavy syrup as long as you use no more than 1 cup of the syrup). Cover with dry cake mix, top with pats of butter. Bake 40-45 minutes at 350. That is it.

1c sugar
1-1/2c milk
3 eggs
1/2t salt
4t pumpkin pie spice
1t lemon extract
1 box yellow cake mix

Mix all ingredients, except bake mix and butter. Pour into greased 9x13. Sprinkle dry cake mix over. Drizzle melted butter over cake mix. Rake fork through to spread butter around SLIGHTLY -- do not mix. Bake at 350ยบ 1 hour.

ETA: the recipe calls them bars but they are more like an apple crisp type dessert. We had them warm in a bowl with vanilla ice cream. You can't cut them and pick them up like regular bar recipes.
