Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 pk (6 ounces) semisweet
Chocolate pieces
3 Eggs=7F
1 ts Vanilla extract
3 tb Half-and half
1/3 c Sugar
3 c Milk
1/4 ts Salt

Melt 2/3 CUp chocolate pieces with half-and half in top of a double
boiler over hot (not boiling) water. Stir until smooth: spoon about 1
tablespoon into each of 8 custard cups or 10 souffle dishes. Spread
evenly. Put cups into a shallow pan; set aside. Scald milk. Melt
remaining 1/3 cup chocolate pieces and, adding gradually, stir in
scalded milk until blended. Beat together eggs, vanilla extract,
sugar, and salt. Gradually add milk mixture, stirring constantly.
Pour into chocolate-lined cups. Set pan with filled cups on oven rack
and pour boiling water into pan to a depth of 1 inch. Bake uncovered,
at 325F 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted halfway between center
and edge comes out clean. Set cups on wire rack to cool slightly.
Refrigerate and serve when thoroughly cooled. Unmold and, if desired,
garnish with whipped cream rosettes.
