Chocolate Crackles
The Chocolate Crackles Story
Think “Chocolate Crackles”, think children’s parties! This recipe is an institution. I think every man and has dog has this recipe or has made these at some time or another. The ingredients are basic. It hardly even needs cooking! You mix it together, whack it in a patty pan. And Presto.
It has been years since I have made these, because once the kids grow up you never bother to make them again, sad but true. These are great of course for kid’s parties as I already mentioned as well as school markets, but I don’t need to tell you that , I bet you already know.
