I don’t think that there’s any authority that “banned” it, but the whole “stranger danger” panic of the '80s has made sure that nobody will ever eat your homemade treats, and it might attract unwanted law enforcement attention if any kids do eat them and become sick (even if the sickness is unrelated). Too many tales of poison, razor blades, etc inserted into candy.
I do remember getting home with my Halloween haul, and my parents going through it, throwing out anything homemade and anything with a damaged wrapper.



Finally made it. The flavor is about what I remember, but I remember the crust being thicker than it came out. I wonder if it might benefit from a prove before the par-bake.
Also, I’m already thinking of ways to uplift this recipe, lol. Primary idea is using EVOO in the crust instead of vegetable oil.
