2/3 c. evaporated milk
1 1/2 c. sugar
32 regular size marshmallows
1/4 c. butter
1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. (12 oz. bag) semi-sweet chocolate pieces
1/2 c. walnuts (optional)

Into a 2 quart saucepan place all of the first 5 ingredients. Stir to blend over moderate heat, stirring constantly.

Continue to stir and boil 5 minutes (mixture will brown lightly). Remove from heat.

Immediately add 2 cups (12 ounce bag) of semi-sweet chocolate pieces and 1 teaspoon vanilla (1/2 cup chopped walnuts are optional).

Keep on stirring only until mixture is thoroughly melted and mixture is shiny. Pour into buttered 8 inch square pan. Chill. Yield: 2 pounds.
