A few weeks back there was a thread about vintage candy we love and miss. Cherry Mash candy bar was a fav of many posters. While searching for Cherry Mash online I found the site of the company that makes them, and sells them as well. They had this cookie recipe that looked good, thought I'd share it with you. Many people can still buy Cherry Mash, if you can't and want to buy them online ...you can. magic! LOL

They also had a cake recipe
