Subject: Charlie Chaplin cake
Hello!
I am looking for a recipe I once used for Charlie Chaplin cake. It's actually
a cake/pudding dessert that is very good for feeding a crowd since you scoop
the dessert into bowls directly from the pan. It involved using chocolate pudding,
angel food cake torn into bits, and Cool Whip. I would appreciate knowing the
proportions fo each. I hope you can find it! It's very versatile!
Thank you for your effort.

Subject: recipie search for habanero chili
Six or seven years ago I bought a couple of Habanero pepper plants online and
when I received them I also received a short phamplet style cook book with recipies
for the peppers. I have lost the cook book and there was a chili recipie that had
ground beef, four habaneros split in half with the seeds and the membrane taken out.
It also had cumin, beans, stewed tomatoes and other ingrediants that I can not remember.
I was a very good chili and I would really like to have the recipie again but I have
not been able to find it anywhere.
Thanks for your help.

Hello Stuart,
Sorry, I had no success locating that exact recipe. See below for one that may be
similar. Easy to use 4 habaneros instead of two if you want.

Subject: no cook peanut butter/maple fudge
Hi--
When my kids were small (about 45 years ago) I often made them a no cook peanut
butter fudge flavored with Mapleine. It was truly no cook. All the "no cook"
recipes I have been able to find on the internet call for some of the ingredients
to me mixed and melted on the stove, then mixed with the other ingredients. My
recipe used all ingredients right out of the package. As nearly as I can remember
the ingredients were: peanut butter, powdered sugar, Mapleine flavoring, and I
believe it had powdered milk also. It didn't have to be refrigerated to make it
harden because it had enough dry ingredients to make it firm. It took a lot of
mixing by hand to make it really smooth. Then it was cut into squares and each
square was topped with a maraschino cherry (which may or may not have been in the
recipe). It was a really delicious candy. Recently I found some Mapleine flavoring,
and have been looking for that recipe ever since. I don't know where I got the recipe.
I hope you can help me find it. Thanks.
Jo
Hi Jo,

request on the site. Maybe a reader can help.

Thank you for your web site and the work you do on it.
I'm looking for a recipe I had and lost due to computer crash years ago.
It is a Pear Pie recipe. And though I have searched for the recipe,
I have not been sucessful. The unusual parts of this recipe is that you
steep the quartered or 8thed peeled pears in strawberry nectar. This turns
them a very attractive pink color and was pictured on the recipe when I
originally found it. So the pears are steeped and "colored" by the strawberry
nectar and baked in a pie, but there is no full pie shell top on it, rather
a crumble type top. I would appreciate it if you could find this recipe for
me again.
Thanks a lot,
Erin
Hi Erin,
Sorry, I had no success in locating this recipe. I will post it on the site in
case a reader has it, but since it's been requested on Chowhound for 10 months
with no replies, I don't have much hope.

I would like the recipe for a bar from Johnson's Bakery in Waterloo, Iowa.
They're called Corral Bars. There is a filling that appears to be brown
sugar with nuts and is surrounded by pastry with a drizzle of powdered sugar
on top. My name is Vicky .
Thank you.
Hello Vicky,
Is it "corral bars" as you put it, or "coral bars" as this person spells it?
Taste of Home
Johnson's Bakery has a website, but I could not find any bars like that on their product lists.
If I missed them, let me know. See:
Johnson's Bakery Waterloo
Sorry, I could not locate a recipe spelled either way. These bars are likely a
creation of that bakery, and they don't give out the recipe for them. Apparently
no one has created a copycat recipe. I don't have much hope of success here, since
a request for this recipe has been posted on Taste of Home's forum for three years
with no success.
