1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
4 (1 oz.) squares unsweetened chocolate
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 (4 oz.) cans shredded coconut
1/2 c. chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease 2 large cookie sheets. In top of double boiler combine condensed milk, chocolate and salt. Cook over hot, not boiling water, stirring frequently until chocolate melts and mixture thickens, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Add vanilla, then coconut and nuts; mix well. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 1" apart on cookie sheets. Bake 10 minutes or just until cookies are set. Remove at once with spatula to sheet of wax paper. Let cool. Makes about 3 1/2 dozen.
