This is Liz Waskow’s mother’s recipe. I have a lot of recipes from them – Leta always joked, “Well of course it will be good, it’s from the Wheelers! ”
2 C. sugar
1 C. evaporated milk
24 caramels
1 1/2 C. milk chocolate chips
1 tsp. vanilla
1 lb. salted peanuts
Heat sugar and milk. Add caramels. Stir constantly. After caramels melt, boil 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Add vanilla, chocolate chips and peanuts. Drop onto waxed paper.
2 containers mushrooms, sliced or whole
1/2 stick butter or olive oil
1 to 2 T. Worcestershire sauce
Garlic powder
Salt
Melt butter in skillet. Add Worcestershire sauce, then add washed mushrooms (I always slice mine). Sauté. While cooking, add the garlic powder and salt to taste. I suppose you could use garlic salt, but if you like garlic, but not a lot of salt, it could get too salty. While it’s cooking, it will get real liquidy, but it will reduce down. Stir occasionally. I make this when we grill steak.
I got this recipe from a college friend. When I lived in Sumner I made this, and it makes a lot. For a week every time Leta called me (I wasn’t long-distance for her), I was eating these beans!! I’m not sure I’ve had them since, but they were good…honest!
