Froggies Aka New York Delight

Submitted by Winnipeg Mel

"This is a recipe that my DH grew up loving, and I grew to love them. I got the recipe from a good friend of their family. They are easy to make and are yummy to eat. I'm not sure were the name "froggies" came from as their real name is New York Delight. Cook time also requires 1 hour cooling time."

YUMMY ALERT! These are great! I'm not all that wild about cornflakes, so I did a few with cornflakes first. Then I played around, doing some in coconut, some in oreo crumbs, some in a bit of cocoa mixed with the coconut and finally some "mongrel" ones done in all the leftover coatings mixed. I cut 25 squares because that seemed about the right size to me. I did find that they have to be cold to work with, otherwise they are just too sticky. Also, I found that pressing slowly and firmly with the knife worked best. Usually I had to reshape them a bit after I got them out of the pan too. This is a wonderful treat, so easy but looks like I slaved for hours! Thanks, Melanie.

O.k. I made these a while ago and I never reviewed them so here goes. They were VERY good. Next time, though, I'll make sure to grind the cornflakes in my blender as they weren't fine enough.

These are really different. I made WAY more than 16 bars. I followed the recipe to a T; I think I was expecting something more firm, but even after 2 hours they were pretty soft, so cutting them into bars was out of the question. I made something that looked more like large 'tidbits'. I'm not sure if they were supposed to be soft, but they sure were good anyways.

Oh my.....these are extreemly good, and nothing that I expected. I swear I have had these before, but dont know where, and they are evil!! I wasnt so sure about rolling them in the corn flakes, but man, it turned out great. I used butter instead of margarine, and it was stupendous!! Thanks!
