I am very excited to share a true “Throw Back Thursday” recipe with you.  I love to think about the recipes that have inspired me.  Inspired me to be a better cook or baker.

Raggedy Robins

I remember making them first in Girl Scouts and then in a home economics class in middle school. 

But, truth be told, I have been making these for the last 45 years, even using it as a recipe to teach my own children how to cook. 

It is a simple recipe that requires no baking and the blend of chocolate and peanut butter just melt in your mouth. 

So, enjoy a little bite from my past that is wrapped with lots of special memories.
