RECIPE: FRENCH CHOCOLATE

December 08, 2024

Publisher’s Note:

Back in the 1970’s, the Beattyville Women’s Club offered a cookbook with recipes from women in the community. Our dear family friend, Ruth Morton, gifted one of these cookbooks to my grandmother and fellow columnist, Betty Crabtree. My grandmother has now passed the cookbook on to me, and we are going to start sharing these recipes with our readers each week just exactly how it was written. ENJOY!

2 ½ sq. bitter chocolate
