I was recently going through old photos; came across the photo below and said to myself, “what the fuck is that?”
It took me a moment but I remembered what the fuck it was–Lincoln’s Log from Betty Crocker’s Bisquick Cook Book (1973).***
After I found the photos, I took to the old draft folder and then discovered what was the beginnings of a post:
As good as the cake part turned out, that was how bad as the filling turned out. Albeit was delicious, it didn’t work quite right.
I used a white chocolate pudding in lieu of the regular chocolate so I could get the filling to be a pastel green with the creme de menthe. It just didn’t set right. Maybe because the white chocolate pudding mix only came in instant sugar-free/fat-free and not Cook n’ Serve.
Question: what is Betty Crocker chocolate fudge pudding IN A CAN?
So the filling was a little thin, but it was still tasty.
And that’s all I wrote.
***I almost don’t want to tell you how long ago I made this because it’s embarrassing, but it was June 2018.
I love a post plucked from the archives!!
I’m glad it turned out better than my pie did this year! That came from the same cookbook.
Bisquick rides again! Woo Hoo! This cake looks really good and not at all like the toy building pieces of the same name that I had as a child and coincidentally also came in a giant “can.” I wonder if Kozy Shack chocolate pudding would work as well as the canned stuff. I can vouch for individual puddings coming in cans back then. The curved pop top lid made a convenient, albeit dangerous, spoon.
