Grandma's Secret Tip

Grandma's Secret Tip

Baking cocoa is more economical than chocolate. To save a few bucks, Grandma replaces the chocolate with 3/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa and 4 additional tablespoons of butter or margarine. Stir the cocoa into the melted butter and proceed as recipe directs.
