Ingredients:

MIX:

1 1/4 c. sugar

3 Tbsp. flour

3 Tbsp. chocolate (Hershey's)

2 eggs

1 1/2 c. sweet milk

Directions:

Mix real well. Cook in a double boiler or real slow on stove top till thick. Add to mixture 1/2 stick margarine and 1 tablespoon vanilla, then cool mixture. This is enough mix for 5 canned biscuits. Roll out a 5-count can of Hungry Jack or Butter-Me-Not biscuits real thin.

Add about 2 tablespoons of filling onto 1/2 side of rolled biscuit. Fold over and go around edge with fork. Heat about 1/2 inch Crisco shortening in skillet. Have Crisco medium hot and brown pies on both sides.

**Fix all your pies before you start to fry the first pie, that way your Crisco stays the same temperature.

To serve:  You can drizzle chocolate syrup or powdered sugar on top and serve with a heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream!
