Subject: Help, I need this recipe
Hello,
My mother has been looking for a recipient that was called peanut butter rolls.
It was served at her elementary school cafeteria in Gunnison, Colorado in the
1960's. She said they are like giant cinnamon rolls but instead of cinnamon it
was a peanut butter mixture. I would really like to make them for her because
she has been craving them for 15 or so years now.
Thank you,
Nicole
Hi Nicole,
I could not find any mention at all of the peanut butter rolls from Gunnison, Colorado Elementary School.
However, I did find some recipes for School Cafeteria peanut butter rolls. See below.
The second one appears to fit your description.

Lunch Room Ladies Peanut Butter Rolls
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEb3ZS80beg
2 cups peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
2-1/2 cups confectionary sugar, sifted (start out with 1 cup and add from there.
-- It should taste more like peanut butter with a little sugar, just add till it tastes good to you)
1 cup well packed brown sugar
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter or margarine
1 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs
Raisins (optional)
Put all ingredients in a large bowl and microwave on high 45 seconds to
1 minute or so. Just until everything is melted.
Mix until the ingredients leave the side of the bowl. Pat into a 9 x 13 pan
and cool at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Cut into squares.

Peanut Butter Rolls
I found a recipe for yeast rolls topped with caramel peanut butter crunch.
This may have been the secret of the peanut butter treats at St. Anthony:
peanut butter, butter and sugar.
To make these, prepare your favorite cinnamon roll dough, but instead of
the usual cinnamon filling, spread rolled-out dough with a blend of 2 parts
peanut butter to 1 part EACH butter and brown sugar, roll, slice, let rise until
doubled and bake. While they're warm, drizzle with an icing of peanut butter,
confectioner's sugar and milk.

Subject: Pineapple Pie
My mother always used to rave about a pineapple pie that she'd get in
Chock Full of Nuts in NYC in the 1950's. She has passed away now,
but I would still love to make the pie after hearing about it all those years.
Annmarie
Hello Annmarie,
Did you know that Chock Full O' Nuts is still operating small cafes in NYC
and a few other places? They have a website here: Chock Full O' Nuts
Pineapple pie does not appear to currently be on their menu: Chock Full O' Nuts Menu
I had no success finding any mention at all of their pineapple pie.
The only recipe for any Chock Full O' Nuts product that I have ever been
able to find is the date nut bread. See: 01-07-04
One reason there are so few of their old recipes available is that Chock
Full O' Nuts prepared their food at the Secaucus, New Jersey commissary and
then transported it to the shops. See: Chock Full O' Nuts

Subject: recipe for fruit squares by cushman's bakery
Dear Phaedrus,
I would like you to help me find the recipe for fruit squares that cushman’s
bakery made them any years ago.
Do you know if cushman’s bakery sold there recipes to another bakery?
Thank you very Much
Wanda
Hello Wanda,
I had no success find the fruit squares recipe. See here for the only Cushman’s recipe that I have ever been able to find: Cushman's Bakery
My information is that in the 1960’s rights to the Cushman’s name and their recipes were sold to Oakhurst Dairy in Portland, Maine.
It does not appear that Oakhurst Dairy ever made any use of the recipes, and the dairy or the Bennett family must still have them.
The Bennett family recently sold Oakhurst Dairy to a company called “Dairy Farmers of America”. However, The Bennett Family still
manages the dairy itself. The dairy has a website here: Oakhurst Dairy
If you contact Oakhurst, please let me know what they say.
Wanda, E-mails sent to the address on your request got bounced back.
