Lost Recipe

[catnapper]

I have misplaced a cookbook that had a recipe for
Amish Candy. The cookbook was from a group
in Wisconsin.

Hi catnapper,

Welcome to Nancy's Kitchen Recipe Message Board.

We'd be happy to try and help you to find the recipe for Amish Candy you remember so fondly from the Wisconsin cookbook. Do you by any chance remember which group sold the cookbook?

It might be helpful to us if you would describe the candy as you remember it. Sometimes a few of the ingredients are enough to unleash the power of the various search engines on the internet. Let's give it a try and see what we can come up with for you.

Best regards,

-Shortcake

Amish Candy

Some of the ingredients are:
White sugar and brown sugar
Sweetened condensed milk
It is a very creamy candy and makes 5 lbs. of
candy per recipe.
I think it was a Church cook book

If anyone has the community cookbook from Wisconsin with the recipe catnapper is looking for, she would appreciate hearing from you.
