FOR THE GLAZE OR FROSTING:
powdered sugar
milk
FOR THE BOBBIES:
1/2 cup raisins, soaked in just enough hot water to cover
2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable shortening (Grandma's choice over butter in the original "formula")
3 eggs, well beaten
2 cups fresh buttermilk (another Grandma innovation)
1 teaspoon each of salt, soda and nutmeg
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 scant cups of flour


FOR THE GLAZE OR FROSTING:
Stir a little milk into powdered sugar until desired consistency is reached; set aside.

FOR THE BOBBIES:
Cover raisins with water; set aside.

Cream together shortening and sugar. Beat in eggs, then buttermilk.

In another bowl, sift together the dry ingredients.

Drain raisins. (Deb saves the soaking liquid to capture the fruit flavor, then adds it to the wet mixture, compensating with a little extra flour.) Lightly toss raisins to coat in the dry mixture "so they don't sink to the bottom of batter," Grandma wrote.

Add wet mixture to dry, and combine well.

Turn machine on high, and pour in batter. Close cover, turn to low and bake for 13-15 minutes.

Glaze or frost. Serve.

MILK CHOCOLATE-MALTED WHOPPERS BROWNIES
18 servings

2 cups milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 cup instant malted milk powder (Ovaltine)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup malted milk balls, coarsely chopped (Whoppers)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan.

Heat the chocolate chips and butter together in a 3-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently, until melted. Remove pan from heat; cool slightly.

Beat in the sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Stir in the flour, malted milk powder, baking powder, and salt just until combined; do not overmix. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan; sprinkle with the chopped candy.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool in pan on a wire rack before cutting.

Serve warm or completely cooled.
