Prepare in a large bowl:
- 1 lg and 1 small pkg of chocolate chips – semi sweet (12 and 6 oz)
- 2 cubes of butter cut fine
- 2 cups nuts
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Combine in LARGE heavy pan: Make sure the pan is large enough to account for it rising when boiling.
- 4 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 can evaporated milk
Bring to a boil (rolling). Boil 7 minutes exactly. Mix together with the ingredients in bowl and blend well. Press into 9X13 pan and let cool.
To prevent sugaring when the stuff in the pan is heating take a knife wrapped in a clean washcloth dipped in warm water and rub around the sides to get off all sugar crystals. Do as often as needed. Grandma Dennis says even one sugar crystal can sugar the whole batch.
