  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 3 bars of semi-sweet chocolate Baker's, Hershey's

Then, turn heat up slightly over medium. Stop stirring when mixture starts to boil. Once a full boil starts, let boil for 5 1/2 minutes. Then, remove from heat. Quickly add vanilla and peanut butter. Stir quickly and completely. Pour into a buttered sheet cake pan. (I use butter or margarine not a spray and I use wax paper to spread it.) Let set. Usually can be cut in about an hour.

This recipe can be cut down in half, but use a round or square cake pan instead of the sheet cake size.

Notes

I woke up with such scare when I heard Santa call...
"Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!"
I ran to the lawn and in the snowy white drifts,
Those nasty reindeer had left "little gifts".
I got an old shovel and started to scoop,
Neat little piles of "Reindeer Poop!"
But to throw them away, seemed such a waste,
So I saved them, thinking you might like a taste!
As I finished my task, which took quite awhile.
Old Santa, passed by and he sheepishly smiled.
And I heard him exclaim as he was in the sky:
"Well they're not potty-trained, but at least they can fly!"
