Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
"The best thing you can do with this recipe is fix it just like the directions say," Grandma said. The only time she added anything was when my aunt Pat was visiting. My aunt loved mint so much that we called her "Peppermint Patty." So Grandma added a few drops of peppermint extract to the boiling water before pouring it over the batter.

oops, remaining cocoa... not brown sugar.
This recipe doesn't have brown sugar as an ingredient, so how much do I mix with the remaining brown sugar? also, how much boiling water do I use?
