"This is from a very old community cookbook. I had to investigate the chocolate wafers. I believe I found the correct item. They were very popular during this time for ice box cakes. Yesterday was the anniversary of another of my 29th birthdays! I'm posting this for You Want What 2020 recipe game. NOTE: 12 hour chill time is not included in cook time."
