  1. This recipe is one of my family's favorites, too! The original recipe comes from The Kitchen-Klatter Cookbook, 1973. Kitchen-Klatter was a radio cooking show that came on 740 AM (KRMG) from the 1960s to the 1980s. My grandmother relied on thier recipes and had collected several of their cookbooks before the show went off the air.
     
  2. My niece made this for a party and I loved it! Her recipe says to crush the buttermints and to whip the whipping cream until stiff before adding it to the dessert, but otherwise it is the same. She used colored marshmellows and it was really pretty as well as extremely tasty.
