Cookbook #132:<\/strong> Forrest Gump\u2122 My Favorite Chocolate Recipes<\/em>, Oxmoor House, Inc., Birmingham, AL, 1995.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"My<\/a>“Forrest Gump” was a cultural phenomenon in the 1990s. Probably most Americans of a certain age have seen the 1994 film, starring Tom Hanks as the slow but wise and likeable character Forrest Gump who bumbled through life with a Southern accent and a good attitude and lots of amazing adventures. I admit that it isn’t among my favorite flicks, so I am sort of surprised that I own this book. Maybe it was on sale? Dunno.<\/p>\n

The book does not credit an author, but the copyright page credits Winston Groom as the author of the Southern-accented introductions to the recipes. Who is Winston Groom? Aha, the author of the novel, Forrest Gump. He also authored several other novels as well as history books.<\/p>\n

I did use this book \u2013 I find chocolate stains on many pages!<\/p>\n

The recipes are all chocolate and rich. Chocolate, cream, butter, candy bars, nuts, sugar, ice cream, cream cheese . . . yum! I’d love to try many of these recipes. But as I’ve stated before, these lovelies rarely fit into my diet plan. (Moderation, yes, is the answer, but it’s hard to adhere to.)<\/p>\n

For this blog? I decide to make Triple-Decker Brownies. With a slight hint of nutrition from oatmeal and pecans, these will be a sweet treat for Halloween festivities, and shared with my daughter’s family to spread the calories around. I am already looking forward to my first taste of these brownies!<\/p>\n
