Combine:
3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup Crisco
1/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
Mix with low speed of mixer (or with pastry blender) until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add:
1 beaten egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix well and press mixture firmly into ungreased 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1 inch jellyroll pan. Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F) 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly. Spread with Chocolate Crunch. Let stand at room temperature until chocolate hardens. Cut into bars or squares.
Chocolate Crunch
Melt 1 cup (6 ounce package) semisweet chocolate pieces in top of double boiler over boiling water. Stir in 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter and 1 1/2 cup corn soya cereal.
Note from me: I have no idea what cereal she is referring to but I expect you could substitute rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies).
Makes 3 to 4 dozen cookies.

Chocodiles ® (not to be confused with their not-very-nice cousins the crocodiles) were friendly, nice, and very yummy, which is how they came to be hunted to near-extinction by early chocolate-lovers. In this book, intrepid schoolboy explorer Hillman Hunter, looking for something to do in his summer vacation, discovers The World's Last Chocodile, all alone and lonely in the magic Jungle of Great Guests. Chocodile ® is registered as trademark in UK, Canada and a number of other countries. A further 4 books in the series are ready, awaiting scanning and book design.
