It came from the 80s

So after posting Mom's pepper jelly I got curious about what -was- in that box of stuff my Dad gave me. Found some goodies. Including a jell-o dessert that uses the mold that Tupperware actually still makes (I know because I bought one from my friend, it was just too retro to pass up). All are from the 1980s so not super vintage but may invoke fond memories of desserts without cool-whip and a cake cool enough to be called moon crater cake. Enjoy.

(I cut because they are large images so they are readable)



These two just sounded pretty amazing.



I had to scan the pictures, they were too good to pass up.



And here's the recipes, look whipping cream! No cool whip!



I don't recall ever making this, and feel slighted that we could've had an explosive cake experience. ;)



I believe this is ripped from a reader's digest. I wonder if its too late for me to get my free copy of their treasury of yeast baking. I also found Mom's "Fleischmann's Bake-it-easy Yeast Book" so at some point she must've written them from her reader's digest ads.

I also found a whole pile of Kellogg's recipe cards from the 80s (in her snap crackle pop recipe box) and there are some amusing ones. I'll have to scan some of those another day :)
