In this video, Betty demonstrates her imitation Reese's cups--with the help and encouragement of her 3-year-old grandson, Carter. These are Betty's Peanut Butter Cup Squares, and they are as close to Reese's cups as you will find, made at home! Ingredients: 1 stick butter or margarine 1 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups confectioner's sugar 6 oz. milk chocolate morsels Melt 1 stick of butter in a saucepan. Add 1 1/2 cups smooth peanut butter, and melt it with the butter over low heat. Remove from heat, and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla and 2 cups of confectioner's sugar. Blend completely, and then pour into a 9-inch by 9-inch pan (glass or metal). (I used a 7-inch by 10-inch Teflon-coated pan.) Spread the peanut butter blend evenly in the pan to get to all corners and sides at the same level. Melt 6 oz. milk chocolate morsels in a double boiler (or in a small pan over low heat). Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter blend. Let stand at room temperature several hours to cool. Do not refrigerate. When the chocolate has set up appropriately, cut your peanut butter cups into squares and place on a pretty serving dish. I like to make the squares fairly small (about 3/4-inch by 3/4-inch). This is a popular sweet treat, and it does provide some protein from the peanut butter. Kids love it!!! Thanks to Carter for his appearance in the video!

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her light and luscious Holiday Potato Yeast Rolls. These rolls are perfect for a fancy dinner, and they are the easiest to make that I have run across. There is no need to knead them! I have used this as my go-to recipe for 30 years. I think you will enjoy them!

If you use self-rising flour, you should reduce the salt to ½ teaspoon.) 4 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted (for brushing tops of rolls) Dissolve yeast in ½ cup warm water and let stand 5 minutes. In a large bowl, combine yeast mixture, 1 ½ cups warm milk, ¾ cup potato flakes, ½ cup butter, ½ cup sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt. Mix well. Stir in 2 slightly beaten egg yolks and ½ cup flour. Cover with a towel, plastic wrap, or aluminum foil, and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts for 30 minutes. (Batter will look spongy.)
