"Melt a piece of butter (size of a small egg or smaller) with two squares of chocolate. When melted well, add one scant cup of rich milk (over 3/4 cup). Let this cook until rather thick so that it is nice and smooth and looks like pudding—almost. Then add two cups of white sugar. Stir well but don’t stir after it starts to boil (medium heat.) Cook until it forms a soft ball in cold water. Let cool to lukewarm and then beat. When almost finished beating, add nuts and pour on buttered plate. It will never fail and is it creamy!"

If two squares (1 oz. ea.) of chocolate are not available, use five tablespoons of cocoa.
