The largest category of vintage recipes on our website is the vintage dessert category.

I have tried to group the recipes into subcategories, as seen below. If you see a recipe that is not categorized properly or has a better category, please comment below.

Golden Almond Bars

Dessert Bar Recipes

Originating in the Midwestern United States, dessert bars, or simply bars or squares, are a type of American “bar cookie” that has the texture of a firm cake or softer than usual cookie.

Often dessert bars are one of the more popular types of desserts at bake sales and are often made for baby showers, bridal showers, birthdays, and weddings.

About Vintage Recipes by Billie Hillier

A lover of family traditions, I decided to create this project to "save" recipes from our past from being lost forever.

    I am looking for some help. I have an old, old recipe that used to be served at the HSOSF Convent on feast days. They would like us to make it for the 175th anniversary of the order on 7-2-19. The Sisters all remember it, but don’t know how to make it. It is a hand written recipe that says:

    Heavenly Hash
    5# margarine
    25 eggs (whole)
    1 can crushed pineapples m. 10 can
    20 cups p sugar
    2 1/2 cups chopped nuts

    The only instructions listed are:
    Beat sugar & m. until creamy

    Nothing more. I have scoured the internet for any hints. They described as a very rich pudding like dish that was yellow.

    Do you have any suggestions? Thank you
