3 cups sugar
1/2 cup condensed milk
1/2 cup water
5 tablespoons butter
2 squares chocolate
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup nuts

In a heavy saucepan, combine all ingredients, except vanilla and nuts, and bring to a boil. Cook to soft-ball stage, 238°F on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat.

Allow to get thoroughly cold. Beat until creamy; add nuts; knead slightly, and mold into a rectangular mass 1/2 inch thick.

Using small cookie cutters, cut into desired shapes.

Place nut halves on top, if desired.

Store in an airtight container.
