Snickerbar apple salad

I mixed 2 8 ounces of cream cheese till soft. I added a jar of caramel ice cream flavor topping (smuckers is the best) or till what you think looks like enough-mix well-stir in a couple of large cool whips (thawed) add some chopped apples and snicker bars.

It's my own recreation of one DH bought once.

These recipes are just wonderful!
I've cooked a recipe for Hash Brown Casserole like Lynn's and it is always a crowd pleaser.

Linda here is the recipe I have for OLD-FASHIONED POUND CAKE. I don't know if it is the one you are looking for, but good luck.

OLD-FASHIONED POUND CAKE

1 lb. of butter (nothing else will do)
1 lb. of sugar
9 eggs
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 or 3 drops lemon extract
4 cups of cake flour

Mix first three ingredients at room temperature. Then add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 or 3 drops of lemon extract, and make sure you stir everything after adding. Now sift 4 cups of cake flour; do it again, and add cream of tartar and salt.

Slowly add the flour to the mixture and make sure you blend it as you go along. Now beat until the batter is smooth and you can't see any lumps. Pour it into a well-greased-and-floured tube pan and bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour. The secret to a good pound cake is to make sure you get all the lumps out.

On a plate (bottom covered with rum) put 1 slice of pound cake with 2 big spoons of icecream (choice of flavor) and 1 more slice of pound cake on top.

Drench in chocolate syrup, and top with fresh whipped cream.

Hope this is what you were looking for.

Chriss, I have a recipe for pickled green tomatoes that sounds like what you may be looking for as pick a lily. I have a recipe for piccalilly, but it calls for green cucumbers, green peppers, and onion. Let me know if you would like either or both of these recipes. If you do I will post them.
