The guys at our house all like this cold dessert, but Blake has requested it for several years in place of a birthday cake. Since we've got his belated birthday, as well as Dana's, to celebrate, I thought I'd make this dessert that is fairly easy, but looks like you "made a fuss"!
I originally got this recipe from Pat Hose, a lady that we attended church with in WV. Park Avenue was hosting a Ladies' Day and this is the dessert that we served for that luncheon. It's very pretty if you have a serving dish that's clear glass so that you can see the layers.

ReplyDeleteHow do I put together the chocolate topping?
ReplyDeleteDear dbf, Cream sugar and margarine, alternating with parts of the milk. Then add in the vanilla, Karo and chocolate packet; mix until smooth.
