I’ve been making this recipe every year (especially at Christmas) since 1968. It is absolutely wonderful and everyone loves it, even those who aren’t particulary “candy” eaters.
I fogot to add – I roll it out between two sheets of waxed paper, then spread peanut butter on it and roll it up, jelly-roll fashion, freeze it for a while (wrapped in waxed paper), then open it up, slice and serve ! You can keep it frozen for quite some time and just slice and serve, as needed.
I am so happy to find this! My mom used to make this at Christmas when I was a teenage. I knew it came from a newspaper and was made with karo syrup. I lost my copy. She used pecan halves, like the picture. Can you tell me what the others are? It’s difficult to tell. Thank you.
I too am so happy to find this recipe !! I had it years ago. Back in the ’60’s I used it alot ! Thank You for providing it !

I just acquired a copy of this same vintage recipe from a family member.
It says you could add pitted prunes, dates, or apricots. I would bet some of those are in the picture.
Also my cousin would add mint instead of vanilla and she would make colorful mint patties.
Hope this is helpful to you.
My great Aunt and Grandmother made this back in the ’60’s. My Aunt had been making it for years prior to that. When I make it I also make different flavors: mint, rum, raspberry, etc. Depending on the flavor I also make the colors for that flavor, like red for raspberry, orange for rum or orange for orange flavor. This goes over well each time I make it.
