About

Ice Box cakes have been around since, well since there have been ice boxes.  A few of my very old  cook books have recipes for them.   The Nabisco "Famous" chocolate wafers have been around since the 1920's and I'm not sure when this recipe was first invented but it has certainly been my favorite for years.  There are certain must's for this recipe, you need to use NABISCO "Famous" chocolate wafers and "real" homemade whipped cream, and it needs to be made well in advance.
