WOW... where did you EVER come up with THOSE treasures?... I have converted many of my old cookbooks into Master Chef and I don't HAVE those recipes... I would be happy to share them with you if I did, though.
Good luck and good hunting.
I've found most brand-name food products have a recipe section on their websites.
You might check that out.
Or, in the search bar, try putting in "old recipes"....and see what you come up with.
You can also type in the name of the dish. It might be out there somewhere, and it will take you to it.

Whipped Cream Truffles
Yield
40 centers
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups (3/4 pound) real milk chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
dipping chocolate
Directions
Melt milk chocolate in a double boiler or in a bowl held over hot water making sure the hot water does not touch pan containing chocolate. Cool to 98°F and hold at this temperature.
In a mixing bowl, beat cream until it holds a soft peak. Add warm chocolate, a little at a time, to whipped cream, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon. When all of the chocolate is added, add salt and vanilla. Stir until blended.
Place mixture into refrigerator to chill. When mixture is slightly firm, beat with a wooden spoon only until fluffy. Do not overbeat. Place mixture into a decorating (pastry) bag with a coupler without the ring. Squeeze out mounds on waxed paper. Chill mounds in refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Pat down any peaks after mounds have been refrigerated for a while. Dip in chocolate.
