Land O' Lakes Chocolate Butterfluff

This is an old recipe from the 70's from the inside of a Land O'Lakes box. It can be used as cake filling and frosting, you can fill a no bake pie crust with it, you can layer it in a parfait, the ideas are endless. You can also mix in whatever goodies you would like. Warning: This does contain raw eggs. If this makes you uncomfortable, you can probably substitute pasturized eggs, although I've never tried it. I just make sure to inspect my eggs for nicks and cracks and only use those with perfect shells. Cook time is chilling time.
