I haven't made this since last year...so I don't remember. This
recipe was from Grandma's old book. All I remember is that I buy a
ordinary box at the grocery. It probably is eight, ten ounces but I
don't have a box in the cabinet right now to look at!! Will be
getting dates in two weeks and will advise then! Hope that helps for
now.
