12 ounces chocolate chips 1 can Eagle Brand Condensed Milk, not evaporated milk 1 1/4 cups chopped walnuts 1 teaspoon vanilla In top of double boiler, mixchocolate and milk together until smoothTake off the heat and add walnuts and vanillaIf you don't like nuts can leave them out or add something else instead like marshmallowsPut it in buttered 8 square panand put in fridge until hard.
