So nice of you to take the time to comment ☺️ that actually really means a lot!

When in doubt, we consult Merriam-Webster in these situations. Apparently, the dictionary definition for jimmies used to be "decorative things," though that has been adapted today to "tiny rod-shaped bits of usually chocolate-flavored candy often sprinkled on ice cream." (and actually came from a man who worked in the factory who makes those Easter marshmallow peeps. Of course his name is Jimmy! And the term is used a lot more in the Pittsburgh and Boston area than other places. ) Sprinkles can, of course, refer to a light rain, or "small particles of candy used as a topping (as on ice cream)." With these definitions in mind, sprinkles feels more all-inclusive. Maybe they're rainbow, maybe they're chocolate, and they could be a topping for ice cream, donuts, or even fairy bread. I don’t see it mentioning anything about them being dots although I have seen them as dots but I mostly see them as the tube shaped. And I actually laughed and had a good giggle over here using the word monstrous ☺️

Haha i guess me .☺️ I didn’t want to ice them right then, and without the icing on top I personally think they get a little bit stale. If I had them iced already, I would’ve put them in the one room that stays kind of cooler than the rest of my house, and I think they would’ve been fine. But I didn’t want to frost them until that day. Thanks for commenting though! You have me thinking and maybe I’ll ask my little Facebook group what they think about sticking them in the freezer for a day instead of just wrapping them up or setting them out.😊

Yay! I sprained mine with a little avocado oil same side down and watch them closely because they’ll turn brown and crispy and no time at all. They’ll go from being brown and soft to crispy crispy just how I like them! Thank you for your kind words by the way!

Oopsie! I tried to turn my music down so I don’t break any rules on CZcams but I guess you could hear it a little bit in the background BillWithers ….useme

Yummm… i love lots of raisins!!!! Good idea!😍

Thank you! you’re right a little char on the side would’ve been better for sure… I think I was just so timid about overcook them. Next time I will do better!

You’re absolutely correct! Thank you for the good reminder. I often say that when I’m demonstrating. Always a good reminder for those who don’t know that little trick. Even a dish cloth that’s damp and can do the trick!😀

Thank you for your kind words!

Thanks Junebug !!!! so nice to hear from you!

Do you remember it seem like yesterday I started this little page… And now I’m close to 1000 nice people who have joined in! Yay

June! On my Facebook group, I have how to make the base. Do you want me to send you that one? Just let me know

Awww thank you for your kind words! You actually have no idea how that makes me happy! Yay!

🥰

Haha love you right back!😄

Oh you’re welcome! Please forgive my unprofessional camera ha ha

Oh goodness I wish I knew. I’m sorry 😌

Thank you for your sweet comment! My older nephews and nieces have Littles of their own now. But they still say they remember when I would allow them to mess up the kitchen and bake with me ha ha it’s all worth the mess sometimes. :-)

Thank you for your kind words! I allowed the kids to be the camera people for this and they got a really big kick out of doing that!

Awwe thank you!

It was how thin the dough should be. And about how many inches 12 inches the square should be Also what the nuts and mixture look like The same side down, went to put the egg wash on and how to tuck in the ends is probably the most important thing. They’re probably were more, not just that one that you said overfilling.

Ty! Recently discovered, I don’t use nonstick spray on the tins first, it works better. I put the papers in first and then I spray those and it works fine. I think it might’ve been my spray, and I was heavy heated, but just in case! Best of luck, and happy new year.

Your comment makes me so happy! If there’s a way to post a picture when you’re finished, I know what all love to see it! Don’t forget to let it raise up a little bit after you shape it OK? 🥰

@@banned7times and to go with it a lot of old-school Pittsburgh families will have pork and sauerkraut today. Why? I never questioned the fun traditions I just go with them ha ha! It won’t let me post an additional picture in this reply but I have mine in the big crockpot going already. Happy new year whatever your traditions are!❤️

☺️ gotcha. I think I was using one hand with the camera and the other to put the chops in. But you’re absolutely right!

For the person who commented on your post::: That was incredibly RUDE! Unnecessarily so. The greatest indicator of a lack of intelligence in someone is in observing how they interact with other people. You appear articulate enough to express your concern in a kinder way! Be nice. ❤

@@misty-anncoleman6710 aww thank you for those affirming words. I was indeed a little hesitant in making my videos to public for that exact reason. I started during Covid because I couldn’t have some of the young girls I was showing the basics of cooking in my house. I started this just to be helpful to those few friends and some family members. But then their friends wanted to join in and now here we are! Ha ha I actually get nervous if I see a comment but my husband assures me it’s just a number and positive and I should try to remember that. Wise words 😊

@@Aunt-Shirley you’re so very welcome!! Your husband screening is so sweet and I really enjoyed your video! I’ve been learning to cook some different things while I’m caring for my grandson so I’m always on the hunt for recipes, I’ll be sure to subscribe for you :) I tell ya what- BREAD- biscuits, bread, pies- I’ve got cakes figured out pretty well now, in the oven and the microwave both, but BREAD, yall!! I got two kinds of yeast and messed them both right up! Hhahaha!! If you have any bread ideas I’d love to see a video on that ❤️❤️❤️

@@misty-anncoleman6710 I’m giggling at your comment you’re so funny! I’ll tell you what. I have a Facebook group whereby I actually like it so much better because the interaction maybe because it’s small and most people on there are my friends ha ha, anyway I have so many little videos and I even have all of my recipe cards in one of the albums! Please come on over to the Facebook group ! I think you’ll like it and there are NO ADS!! Yay

That just made my day! Thank you for your sweet words! I really mean it!🥰

@@Aunt-Shirley And I really mean it too! Happy holidays! ⛄🎄

I do have it on my Facebook group. I found that when I just write it out people have questions it might look a little tricky. So my MO is that I like to show people instead of just having it written down. I hope you’ll turn in. There’s no ads. The group goes by the same name here. Cooking with aunt Shirley. I just posted it in fact!

Recipe at 10:45 😊

Hi there! If the chocolate is fresh, when you buy it, the wafers and such… It should be fine in the double boiler while on low heat-- only is the last resort while I add a little bit of some sort of oil. The chocolate melts should be just fine. You’ll jump right back into it like riding a bike if you’ve done it in the past. This was one of the first videos I made and I know it was long and I feel really bad about that. But I figured if one dip could help somebody, jeepers that’s my goal. and gosh, thank you for your very kind words. I so appreciate you. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me and hopefully I’ll see them in time. In the meantime, merry Christmas to you and yours, have a blessed holiday!

@@Aunt-Shirley thank you so much for responding. We are going to try it this week! Here is what my son wants to say: Thanks for showing us this video. It was really cool. Sean

Your cat sounds awesome! I love kitties myself. I have two presently. I hope you like it and the dried cranberries sound like a great idea! I’m always one for trying new things!

@MrseBay I made the muffins this evening. They're good even without the cranberries.p. Lightfoot the cat tried a bit of muffin and ate all but the raisin. I just have the one cat due to my apartment lease. He's four but acts like two when I adopted him from the shelter. He's a black and white tuxedo short-haired. Must be getting around bedtime. Lightfoot wants me to shut off the lights and the phone and go to bed.

By the way I love tuxedo kitties! I had the best one I could still cry just saying his name now because he was so awesome and I lost him in a surgery they did for urinary reasons. His name was banjo kitty Tuxedo kitties are just special and so many ways!

@MrseBay My first tuxedo kitty was named Bear. He purred like a bear cub. He was a rescue from the neighbor. He would wait for me at the end of the driveway to get home, fed and loved. He really loved his mom. One night I didn't come home from work due to an accident. Poor Bear worried til I got home. Then he followed me wherever I went and slept on top of my head. Sadly he past on from cancer. Now I have Lightfoot. Is it just me or do tuxies love their chosen hoo-man more than other cats? I had a stroke this past spring and Lightfoot meowed and paced the floor until I came home. He didn't eat much. Just worried. I substituted sour half and half for the milk. It was as thick as sour cream and gave a bit of richness to the muffins. I'm waiting for my neighbor to give her verdict. Happy Holidays to you and yours. Looking forward to more yummy recipes in the new year.

Thank you for your kind words! I hope they turn out wonderfully for you! Happy holidays to you as well. May God richly bless you this following year!🥰

Funny I was going to just use a lot less and I was gonna make it avocado oil. I think the oil gives it the crispiness though. I thought about it and I was afraid if I just bought up the brown rice and baked it on the sheet it would just get hard. If you give it a go let me know okey-doke?

I meant to say. BAKED up.. 😊

Aww just now seeing this. Thank you!
