Master Mason, never had a recipe call for baking on a brown paper bag.




Thanks for the recipes so far.

Old-fashioned parchment paper??

Thanks so much for all these recipes. So many of them are our "traditions" but we have a DD with peanut/tree nut allergies and I can't even make them anymore. Looking for some new traditions....
Thanks for this thread!

My grandmother and aunt always made this, too. We called it "infinity" though because there was always so much that it lasted forever!
