Recipe Introduction
The MAMA'S COOK BOOK was prepared by the Pre-School Group of the Louisville (Georgia) Parent Teacher Association many years ago when most women knew the ins and outs of cooking. Therefore part of the directions are sometimes left out.
List of Ingredients
3 cups sugar
1 cup sweet milk
2 squares chocolate
1/2 cup butter
1/8 tsp. soda
Recipe
Grate on cut chocolate, put all together over a brisk fire and cook until thick stirring constantly (8 to 10 Minutes to cook). If thermometer is used boil to 238 degrees. Cook to a soft ball when dropped into cold water. Take from fire and sit pan in cold water. Stir and beat constantly until creamy. Put between layers while much softer than for top.
If at all uneasy (worried the icing isn't thick enough) after it becomes creamy and thick, leave for a few minutes to see if it will get firm. Then melt over a gentle fire or hot water until thin enough to spread between the layers and top.
If still thin recook for two minutes, cool, beat and use.
If it becomes too hard before using, add a little water or milk, boil, cool. Beat as above.
