The above cook book is available.Checked it out, I think I might like to own one. $19.95. Looks like the recipes are the good old fashion kind.

Hi Deanne
Would those Molasses Buns be the big soft Molasses cookies I remember from my childhood?
If so I’m gonna try them as soon as I finish my jam making.
All the best

Interesting – i know these as Sweet Marie bars and instead of melted chocolate, my recipe says to make a chocolate butter icing and spread over the top. It’s always intriguing to see how recipes change as they travel – like a game of telephone!
