  2. Scotcheroos are the name of these in our area. In fact, you will find Scotcheroos in Shipshewana, Indiana!! The Doughbox (part of the Sauder Village complex) in Archbold, Ohio makes wonderful pans of these. YUM!
    Thanks, ladies, for your blog! ~ Gail

  3. Memories! Though not identical, this recipe is essentially the same as a recipe that got *a lot* of mileage when my brother was a teenager. He was on the basketball team, and periodically they would have a "bake sale" to raise money:) Well, somehow the need for a baked contribution didn't often get communicated to Mom (or Grandma, or even slightly older moi) until well into the evening prior to the needed transport. Mom knew she had this recipe nailed, because all the ingredients could be in the house at the ready. So, she made these quite often. In our family, we call these "Basketball Bars". Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane - bro & I are in our late sixties now.
