5 c. sugar
3/4 c. cocoa (preferably Droste)
1 1/4 c. milk
1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
2 tsp. butter

Mix sugar and cocoa; add the milk. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes (moderate heat). Off the heat, add the sifted powdered sugar and the small piece of butter. Stir or beat with a wooden spoon.

Beat, beat, beat or stir, stir, stir until it becomes thick (for quite awhile). Quickly pour into buttered forms - squares, rounds, hearts, whatever. Let cool. Do not touch.

This Borstplaat is very popular during the months of November and December at Sinterklaas (Santa Claus) on December 5 and at Christmas time.
