These two sound pretty dern good to me, but I have to tell you guys, that Deb and I have cut our sugar consumption down to next to nothing. Sad but true.
We’ve just gotten back in, and I was looking through our daughter in law, Shelly Mae’s personal cookbook and ran across these two recipes.
You guys may want to give these babies a whirl. The first (Rave Review Cake),was given to Shelly by a Linda Shores, and it looks like the Butterfinger cookies may be from a recipe she’d picked up somewhere.
If you decide to try these, how bout getting in a bite for Dub and Deb too!
Rave Reviews Cake:
1 package White cake mix
1 package Jello Vanilla instant Pudding
1-1/3 cup water
4 eggs
¼ cup of oil
1-1/2 cup Angel flake Coconut
1 cup chopped nuts
Combine cake mix, pudding mix, water, eggs, and oil in large mixing bowl. Blend, beat at med. speed for 4 minutes. Stir in coconut and nuts. Pour into greased and floured 10 “pans (3), and bake on 350 for 1 hour.
Rave Review Cake Icing:
Cream 1/3 cup of butter. Blend in 6 oz. cream cheese. Add 1 box confectioners sugar, alternately with 4 teaspoons of milk, beating well after each addition. Add 1 tablespoon vanilla.
Spread frosting over top and sides of cake. Sprinkle with Angel Flake coconut.
Butterfinger Cookies:
1-3/4 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup sugar
½ cup butter or margarine
1 egg
3 (2.1 oz.) Nestles Butterfinger candy

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
