Wedding --- Crab or Shrimp dip - Wonderful

I love wedding -- I try to get people married.  Why?  Because I am married and I want everyone to be as happy as I am.

So, when I get a call -- I remember Grandma Brown's recipe.  

It is so good and all you have to do is - serve {I know you have to make it first}

To all who are thinking of marriage - or those who are married -  make some crab mold.  

Yeah


CRAB MOLD - Iris Brown
1 8 oz. cream cheese             
1 can cream of celery soup
1-cup mayo.                              
1 can shrimp or crab with liquid
1 pkg. Knox Jell-O - (1 T.) dissolved in 3 T cold water
3 green onions, diced
Heat soup and blend in the cream cheese.  Add Gelatin and other ingredients.  Put into the mold.  Makes 8 small or 1-quart mold.  Can be frozen (But, i don't like it when it thaws out).  Serve with sliced bagettes.

Tootsie Rolls --YUM!

TOOTSIE ROLLS – Carol Jean Brown
Hint - In order for the tootsie roll to be smooth --- You must pulverize - in a blender or food processor - the Dried Milk and Powdered Sugar.  Or you will be picking out little white lumps in your candy.  
Melt:                                            
4 Tbs. Butter
6 Tbs. cocoa    
Add:1/2 cup light Karo syrup
1 t. vanilla
Stir in:  3 cups powdered sugar (blended first)
3/4-cup instant milk (blended first)

Melt until butter, sugar and milk are mixed. Add dry ingredients.   Roll into ropes.  Cut into desired lengths.  Wrap in wax paper.  Store in airtight container.

I have never -- ok, maybe once in a while -- needed to store these tootsie rolls.  

Really fun with kids.
