Vintage and retro recipe can get a bad reputation sometimes. This one at first glance might get some bad reviews but give this a second spoon full to really make your decision about it.
Hellman's had a cookbook way back in the day and this recipe looked very interesting. We all need more creamy jello side dish for our holiday festivities. Prepare to be surprised!
