Seeking brownie recipe from page 91 of Betty Crocker's NEW Boys and Girls Cookbook, (C)1965?

I actually own this book, and it sure isn't new any more! It has a spiral binding. My mother kept it for me all these years and tore out the brownie recipe from page 91. The page is nowhere to be found. She would really like to have that recipe. Does anyone have this book? Would you be willing to send me the recipe?? The book isn't even in our library system! Many thanks!!

Believe it or not this book was a big part of my childhood. It will take me a minute to type it. I'll be back to post.

Reply:Thanks for the walk down memory lane! I received my book on my 11th birthday from a old German lady that kind of adopted me. My book has no date on it whatsoever except her birthday wishes and the year..1963. The same recipe, however, is found on pg 138! It has kids comments on the bottom of most pages and some wonderful color photos of the food items.


I cooked from it as often as I was allowed--and even when I went out on my own, I referred to it!. Holy Smokes !! Do you know how old I am??? Yesterday was my birthday, so again, thanks for the memories!
