About 20 years ago, I had a pattern with a cocoa can and daisies or chrysanthemums (I think, it may have been another flower) I am pretty sure that it was in a book, but not a magazine. I don't remember if it had a saying on the picture or not. I would like to get some information to purchase the chart or the book.

Thanks for any help....Diane

Hi and welcome to the forum. We like challenges... If this can be found, one of our intrepid net-hounds will sniff it out.

Hello and welcome

Have had a quick search but nothing yet - I will keep looking. Hope someone can find it .

Thanks guys for giving my request a shot! It would be really great if you were to find that pattern for me. I always intended to make that for my mother, as she was always cooking and I remember her using the Hershey's cocoa. Diane

do you remember the publisher, or what country it was from?
BTW, welcome!

Hershey's? That should give us more of a shot.

I don't remember that the word 'Hershey' was on the can. I do believe that the can was a deep brown, giving the impression of a Hershey cocoa can. I am pretty sure that the can was the square one that was standard for the Hershey can. For some reason 'Mom's cocoa' keeps sticking in my mind. I live in Georgia, USA and I am pretty sure that I purchased the book from a local store. I know that I had a lot of Dale Burdett's books at that time, and also several of Designs by Pat & Gloria. It could have been either of those authors, but it could have been some one else. I know that at one time I had a lot of the Stoney Creek books, leaflets, and magazines. But I don't think that this picture in their style. I don't remember any thing else in there. I know that I had that one marked to do 'someday!' I still believe that it was in a book not a magazine, but it could have been in a mgagazine. Thanks for all your help everyone! Diane

Hey, guys

That pattern was a black and white one. It was not done in the colored squares. Maybe that will help? Thanks again, Diane

That leads me more to a book or a leaflet then. The mags are usually in colors.

I'm all daisied and cocoa'd out

Me too! I have found some very fattening recipes for cocoa

I purposely didn't look at the recipes, now I've got to

I was very strong willed and did not save them, a fudge one sounded sooo good too

I've just bookmarked Hershey's

Thanks everyone!
If you want some chocolate recipes I will be glad to give you some of the ones that my mama made! lol Of course, I don't need them either! And her coconut cake was to die for! That is one of those recipes that you only have once or twice a year and then you need a bunch of people to help you eat it so that you don't end up the whole cake by yourself. Thanks again for everyone's efforts. I just got to thinking about that pattern the other day and wishing that I had made the pattern a long time ago. Diane
