1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 1-ounce squares unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter or margarine

Crushed hard peppermint candies, if desired
PEPPERMINT FROSTING
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
3 tablespoons milk

Heat oven to 375º. Beat sugar, 1/2 cup butter, the vanilla, egg and unsweetened chocolate in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour and salt.
