Wisdom From Grandma

If your chips taste soggy and stale during humid weather, try adding a slice of white bread to the snack jar. The bread will draw out excess moisture and keep your chips fresh and crisp.

Ingredients:

5 tablespoons of butter
1 ¼ cups of sugar
3 ½ squares of baking chocolate
3 eggs
1 teaspoonful of vanilla
¾ a cup of milk
3 ½ level teaspoonfuls of baking powder
1 ½ cups of sifted flour

Instructions:

1. Melt chocolate.
2. Cream the butter, sugar and chocolate together.
3. Add your eggs and vanilla, and beat together until they are very smooth.
4. Sift your baking powder with one-half a cup of the flour and then combine with your blended ingredients.
5. Add the milk and the remaining flour, gradually, until the mixture stiff enough to drop from a spoon.
6. Beat your mixture until it is smooth.
7. Bake in a 350 degree oven until a toothpick comes out clean.
