My mother typed ( as in using a typewriter) her favorites in a book for each us. The Princess uses it regularly.

I am printing the recipes out on 4 x 6 lined index cards.
These will go into picture sleeves, then into photo album.
Hope to get pictures of each helper helping me make these recipes too.

One year I bought three wooden recipe card boxes for each of our daughters. I wrote out recipes to fill each box...each box had the daughter's favorite recipes. Wrote the cards by hand. Because I have some of my grandma's and mom's recipes written by hand, and I like to see their handwriting.
I did that for my nieces last Christmas and also did family recipes. It’s a lot of writing

Mound Bars
In medium mixing bowl, combine coconut and sweeten condensed milk.
It will be sticky, so wet your hands with cold water.
Work mixture into logs, but I roll mine into small balls instead.
You will need to rinse hands a couple of times.
Place logs or balls onto parchment paper lined cookie sheet and freeze for 20 minutes.
I use dark almond bark or chocolate chips for my melted chocolate.
Melt about 10 ounces of chocolate in microwave for 30 seconds.
Stir well continue to microwave in 15 second increments until chocolate is completely melted. Stir well between cooking times.You have to add more melted chocolate as needed.
Using forks dip each bar or ball in the chocolate until completely covered. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.Place the chocolate bars or balls back on parchment paper and allow them to rest until chocolate is set.
Storage of Mounds Bars or ball airtight container.
They will stay fresh at room temperature for up to five days.
Makes 12 Mounds Bars.

Almond Joys
I use the same recipes as Mounds bars except I place a roasted Almond on them while they rest before dipping into chocolate. Everything else is the same.

He's not any worse than any other males I have known.Give him @Bacpacker a little bit of chocolate and he sure gets demanding
Actually he's pretty tame compared to some other males I have known.
But his mother and wife might have something to do with that.
Actually you'd be surprised how bad I can be. I'm surprised my mom didn't kick my butt years ago.
