Another Blast From The Past

Here is another blast from the past; do you remember Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers? I hadn’t until our family kept reminiscing about things we use to make and eat years ago. It seems like all the recipes we grew up with as kids came from the back of a box or package of something. As we were talking we were remembering how much we enjoyed these recipes and wondered why we ever stopped making them. Most of these recipes were quite easy and affordable; I guess like with everything else things just get away from us. Maybe it is time to start making these recipes again and recreating some of those special times.
