Personal Notes:
This recipe is from DaLene (Foster) Marlowe and her mother Marie Foster. Each Saturday the Foster girls would be responsible to make several sweets for her brother and dad for their lunchboxes. This is one of them that Grandpa Bade and Grandma enjoyed to eat when stopping in for a cup of coffee. Ray Foster, DaLene's father used to watch over our cabin in Wisconsin when we were not there. He also was the one who put in our septic tank and dug our one acre pond at the cabin which turned into Grandpa, Grandma, and my home during my high school years.
