Ingredients

• 3 cups (18 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
• Pinch salt
• 1½ tsp vanilla
• ½ cup nut meats or mini chocolate chips (optional) (*Ruth’s note – I love adding extra chocolate chips!)

Instructions

1. In top of double boiler, melt chocolate over hot water; stir occasionally. Remove from heat.
2. Add sweetened condensed milk, salt, vanilla and nut meats, if used. Stir only until smooth.
3. Turn into waxed paper-lined 8 inch square pan. Spread mixture evenly and smooth surface. Refrigerate for two hours or until firm.
