Mabel Rice was my Grandfather’s (Margie’s great grandfather) sister.  Things were simpler in those days!

Ingredients:

• 1 c sugar
• 1 c flour
• 1/2 c butter (melt if you prefer)
• 2 tsp cocoa
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 c or more of broken walnut meats

Directions:

1. Preheat oven 350°  (I presume that is moderate.)
2. Combine the sugar, flour, butter, cocoa, and salt.  (Probably not an electric mixer!)
3. Add the eggs, one at a time beating then in as you add. (Get our that wooden spoon.)
4. Add walnuts.
5. 1/2 inch deep in pan.  ( I am guessing that it is a greased 9×9 inch pan.)
6. Bake in moderate oven for about 20 minutes.
7. Bake soft. They will harden as they cool.

Serves:  Depends on how you cut them!
