Recipe: Chocolate/peanut butter lovers ...

I just finished copying the coconut pie, the Portuguese soup and the others .... sound yummy.

This is a quickie recipe for anyone who loves chocolate and peanut butter. It is my daughter's -- she came up with the idea while in junior high and we sent it off to Pillsbury Bake Off several times with no luck. Then the year she started University, I re-typed it for her ..... and she was called (1984, I think). She was so happy to go but 'being THAT old, she thought the recipe was 'too simple'. however, she (and her father - first Father/Daughter duo they ever had) enjoyed it so much she went back about 4 years later -- and won $2,000 that year!

I STILL make these -- put them in a napkin lined basket and cart them off to coffees, etc.
