More than one hundred entries were judged in this year’s National Peanut Festival Recipe Contest, but there were two that stood out. One of those became the Adult Grand Prize Winner and the other was named as the Student Grand Prize Winner.

After all the calculations were made and the judges’ taste buds were satisfied, Barbara Baxley of  Midland City, Alabama was named the overall adult winner for her Peanut Butter Taffy Apple Cookies. Jaycie Walker of Headland, Alabama was named the top student winner for her Awesome Peanut Butter Cake.

Winners received cash and prizes that totaled more than $2,000. The annual event is coordinated by the Alabama Peanut Producers Association and sponsored in part by APPA and the National Peanut Festival Association.
