- 4 cups Tea Biscuits, Ground, Or Ground Animal Crackers
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder

- Place the water, sugar, and 2 sticks of margarine in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook and stir until the sugar and margarine dissolve. Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl and let it cool for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir the ground tea biscuits or animal crackers into the mixture until well moistened. Spread half the mixture into a 9x9-inch pan and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes, or until it sets.
