Hi Paulette,

I'm sorry about the loss of your Aunt. Hopefully one of these recipes is similar to the one she used and will bring you fond memories. For the chocolate version, I would try stirring cocoa into the sugar mixture starting with 2 tablespoons and adding until you get the taste you're looking for.

Let us know how these work out for you or if you need a different version.
