No Bake Cookies
No-bake Cookies are becoming increasingly popular in America.
This type of cooky originated with bourbon balls, these fragrant unbaked confections
that are part cooky and part candy. The State of Kentucky may rightly take credit
for the origination of this sweet, even though rum and brandy are frequently substituted
for Kentucky Bourbon.
(from America Cooks 1967)
I have always appreciated No Bake Cookies. So easy, easy to make. Just recently I ran across the candy-cookie they use the Chow Mein Noodles in. It was in an old 1977 Craft Book. The funny thing is I never heard them called "Go Blumps" before. Here's the recipe!
Go Blumps
12 oz semisweet chocolate pieces
6 oz butterscotch
pieces
1 5 1/2 oz can of Chow Mein Noodles
Melt pieces in the top of
a double boiler over boiling water. Stir until thoroughly melted. Remove from
heat and gently stir in Chow Mein Noodles until thoroughly coated. Drop by teaspoon
on a greased cookie sheet. Makes 30 to 36 candies.
