This recipe is all over the internet, it is ok but the topping is way too gooey, and is not very tasty if it isn't straight off the stove. It is definately not a Bill Knapp's chocolate topping. Going to be looking for a recipe from the 60's for a chocolate frosting to try and get the right combonation.
