Subject: Can you find...
Can you locate the original recipe for fudge that was on the hershey's cocoa can?
The recipe on later cans does not turn out the same. Thanks for searching! Brenda
Hello Brenda,
No searching needed. Several years ago, I was receiving a lot of mail about the fudge
recipe on the Hershey’s can and people couldn’t seem to agree about what the recipe was.
So, I wrote to Hershey’s and they graciously sent me scans of the actual can labels in
use from 1936 to 1974 (actually through 1992, because it wasn't changed between 1974 and
1992) so that there would be no question about it.
See my Hershey’s Fudge page here: Hershey Fudge
The actual recipes from the can labels are here: 2001
Any other fudge recipe claiming to be from Hershey may have been in a magazine ad or in a
cookbook, but not on the can.

Subject: Texas Ranger Pie
?? Recipe please.
Thanks, Eric
Hello Eric,
Well, there are two kinds of "Texas Ranger Pie", and you don't say which one
you are referring to.
One is a dessert pie at "Cafe at the Ridge" in Kerrville, TX: Cafe at the Ridge
The other is a pizza pie at "Brooklyn Pie Company" in Austin, TX :
Texas Ranger Pie - Grilled chicken, red onions, cilantro and cheddar cheese
with Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce. See: Brooklyn Pie Company
I could not find any mention of "Texas Ranger Pie" other than these two.
I had no success finding a recipe for either one, but if you want me to post
this for reader input, then I'll need to know which one you want.
Phaed
I live in Kerrville and I saw a reference in the Kerrville paper so The Cafe on the Ridge must be the one.
Please feel free to post this for reader input. Hopefully someone will have the recipe.
Thank you, Eric
