Rice Krispies Marshmallow Squares

This marshmallow squares recipe is very easy to make, and the squares taste out of this world.

Put Rice Krispies in large buttered bowl and pour on marshmallow mixture, stirring briskly. Press into shallow buttered pan. Cut in squares when cool.

Combine beaten eggs, sugar, dates, vanilla and pinch of salt in saucepan. Cook slowly, stirring constantly, for about 10 to 15 minutes or until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Mock Strawberries

You just have to try this no bake cookie recipe! I loved it when Mom made these sweet, melt-in-your-mouth strawberries; they are "so" good tasting.

1 fifteen-ounce can sweetened condensed milk, 6 cups shredded coconut, 3-1/2 cups (approximately) sifted confectioners' sugar, 1 package strawberry-flavored jelly powder, 20 drops red food coloring. Combine milk, coconut, sugar, jelly powder, and red food coloring in bowl. Mix together well and chill. Form into shapes of average-sized strawberries. Roll strawberries in 2 to 3 tablespoons of strawberry-flavored jelly powder. (It will be necessary to open a second package.) Add a few drops of green food coloring to a small quantity of royal icing. Use it in a cake decorating tube to make a stem and 2 leaves on each strawberry. Makes about 30 strawberries.
