janet requested a recipe for "Mushroom appetizers". We had several responses. If you have a variation of this recipe that you would like to share with our readers, send them to us at recipes@tias.com Be sure to also check out this weeks recipe request, below. -- I have many appetizer, hors d'oeuvre and tea sandwich recipes. While this one does not call for "rolled" bread and is usually served on melba rounds or crackers, it would also work on bread that has been compressed ("rolled"). Hope this one will satisfy you....especially if you don't find the exact one you desire! ...Mary in Ohio

I hope this might help with the mushroom recipe.
Mushroom Pate
1/3 cup butter 1/2 cup fresh button mushrooms - finely chopped 1/2 cup finely chopped onion 2 tablespoons dry sherry 3 ounces cream cheese, softened 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
In a fry pan, melt butter over med. heat, add mushrooms and onions. Cook until mushrooms are browned (10-15 min.), stirring often. Mix in sherry. Remove from heat, set aside.
In a bowl, beat cream cheese and parsley until blended, and then add mushroom mixture. Blend. (Use a food processor if you want the consistency of pate)
Refrigerate, and serve with breads or crackers. (This is where I would assume your friend wrapped them in the bread if it is close to the same)
--Help for Last weeks Recipe--
Also it took me 2 weeks to find a recipe for just plain peanut butter taffy but maybe this will help the person looking for it last week.
Peanut Butter Taffy
1 c. sugar 1 c. dark syrup 2 tbsp. vinegar 1/2 c. peanut butter
Combine sugar, syrup and vinegar in pan. Cook to firm ball stage. Add peanut brittle, cook to hard boil stage. Pour in buttered pan, let cool. Pull candy until satin like, light colored and elastic. Makes 1 pound.
A different variation with chocolate that might be interesting or modified- Chocolate Peanut Butter Taffy
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted 1/3 cup water 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup corn syrup 1 cup maple syrup 3/4 cup sugar
Cook together on low heat: syrups, sugar, salt, and water. Stir continuously until dissolved. Cook to 288°F on thermometer or until soft-crack stage. Add in melted chocolate. Pour into greased pan. When cool enough to pull, spread with peanut butter; fold over and pull enough to mix peanut butter well with candy. Cut into pieces.
