"These chocolate-y, cookie-like cracker bars from the late Mary Silvernail are still a crowd-pleaser. Sweet-salty layers of crackers are held together with graham cracker caramel and topped with butterscotch chocolate, which is made all the more decadent with peanut butter. It's no wonder they were beloved by Silvernail for years. Mary Silvernail came from a family who understood that food was more than sustenance. It was love, survival and something to be shared."
"When it was time to choose her memorial, [her daughter and grandson] Melissa and Jake knew what belonged on her marker: a stone in the shape of North Dakota with a heart to reflect the rolling prairies where she grew up. A deep, steady blue - the color of Mary's eyes, the color of the sky she grew up under. And, of course, the recipe for her Clubhouse Cracker bars. The recipe is cherished and frequently requested by family and friends."
Clubhouse Cracker bars feature sweet-salty layers of crackers bound by graham cracker caramel and topped with butterscotch chocolate enhanced with peanut butter. Mary Silvernail, of Norwegian/Swedish descent, was raised near Palermo, North Dakota, in a large family where casseroles and hot dishes nourished relatives through harsh winters. Her recipe became a cherished staple frequently requested by family and friends. Her memorial stone is shaped like North Dakota, painted deep blue, and engraved with her Clubhouse Cracker bars recipe and a Proverbs 31:29 quotation. Melissa continues to bake the bars for family gatherings and intends to pass the exact recipe to future generations.
