I remember the old Sunshine packaging was transparent, you could see the cookies through it. And the score lines weren't straight--they were a bit wavy, as I recall. I think you could use a pastry wheel or something similar to cut them if you really want more authenticity.
I'll have to give these a try...it's always great when you do your own versions of our old favorites!
On that note....one long-gone favorite I'd love to see you try and remake: I used to LOVE the old Pillsbury Pineapple Creme Bundt cake mix. They stopped making it a few years back, and I've gone crazy trying to find a recipe that would be similar. That creme filling was SO yummy...but I can't find a clone of it anywhere online, or at their own site. I don't think it had cream cheese, it was more like a vanilla pudding-type.
I know I could try using a pudding mix, but I really want something that comes as close to the real thing as possible. If the folks at KAF want another challenge, this might be it!
Here's another idea for you: maybe you could offer a once-a-month challenge where readers submit a request for a long-lost favorite or a popular snack (like you did with Twinkies), and you choose one to do. I'm sure there are so many old favorites that are available, so you'll never be bored trying to bring back a little bit of yesterday!
I always look forward to the blogs no matter what, though, there's always something great waiting in there!
Thanks for all your hard (I SAY hard, but you probably have TOO much fun) work!
Hi Linda,
Thanks for chiming in here. I like the idea of readers suggesting a challenge for us. We do have an ever growing list of recipes we'd love to try , or reader suggested recipes to create, so don't ever hesitate to send us a request. I've never had the Pineapple Bundt cake, but it sounds delish! Just one more to add! ~ MaryJane
