Notes

⚠ THE SCAN IS CLIPPED AT THE BOTTOM EDGE. The final method line runs off the bottom of page 2 — "…or until cake pulls / from sides of pan" is readable, but whether anything follows it is not knowable from this scan. Most bar recipes end with a cooling and cutting instruction, and this one may well have one. Re-scan the card — publish: needs-review until then. Nothing has been invented to fill the gap.

This is a Canadian card. Chipits is the Hershey Canada chocolate-chip brand, sold in Canada and essentially unknown in US grocery stores, and desiccated coconut is Commonwealth usage rather than the American "shredded" or "flaked." The card is recording a brand-sheet recipe of the kind Chipits printed on its packaging and in its promotional booklets. That is a fact about the brand and the wording — it is not a claim about who wrote the card, which remains unknown.

Two brown-sugar quantities and two butter quantities appear in the same list, split between the base and the topping. They are kept separated above; on the card they run as one continuous column, which is easy to misread when cooking from it.
