From The farm cook & rule book, 1923

Serves 3

Make a filling for these by grating the 2 squares of chocolate and melting it over hot water. When melted add the sugar, 1 tablespoonful of butter, 1 well beaten egg and the salt. Cook in a double boiler until the mixture thickens. Then add the fruit preserves and vanilla. Pear, strawberry and peach preserves make delicious fillings.
