3 Easy Dessert Recipes Passed Down from Friends
Have you ever taken a look at some of the recipes you have collected over the years? As I was looking through mine, I noticed that some of my favorite recipes were ones I got from other people, and most of them were on random scraps of paper. Here are 3 easy dessert recipes passed down from friends over the years.
1 – Frosty Copycat (Passed down from Granny Grace)
My grandmother (Grace) shared this recipe with me many years ago. This is on a scrap of paper and in her handwriting, what a treasure!
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a blender.
2 – Homemade Macaroons (Passed down from Linda)
Jay’s mom, Linda, shared this with me. She used to make these all of the time. This one is written on the back of a deposit slip.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients well.
- Drop by teaspoons 1 inch apart onto a well greased baking sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Remove at once from the baking sheet.
3 – Peanut Clusters (Passed down from Rhonda)
When the kids were young, we had a great children’s minister, Rhonda. I taught one of her daughters, and she made these delicious peanut clusters for me for Christmas. After trying them, I had to have the recipe. If you notice, we grabbed the first thing we saw to write the recipe on – a church envelope.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put the chocolate and peanut butter chips in a microwave safe bowl.
- Microwave the chips for 2 1/2 – 3 minutes, until melted. Watch carefully to make sure the chips do not burn.
- Stir well and then add the jar of peanuts. Mix well.
- Drop by tablespoons onto waxed paper and let them cool before removing them.
- Side note – I put the waxed paper on baking sheets before I start making them. Once they are ready to start cooling, I put them in the refrigerator. They cool and set much faster.

Sometimes these easy, comfort food recipes are the best! Definitely trying the frosty, yum. I can’t wait. Thank you for sharing these memories.
It’s been a while since I’ve had that. I’m going to have to make them for the girls!
I love rediscovering recipes that have been passed down like this, Susan. I had no idea you could make your own Frosty but the littles love them so I can’t wait to try this recipe. They will be tickled pink to know they can have one any time they want!
I love them too! I haven’t had a homemade one in years! I’m going to have to make them for the girls. 😊
