1 c. regular all-purpose flour, sifted
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 c. butter

1/2 c. evaporated milk, undiluted
2 c. mixed candied fruit, chopped
1 c. walnuts, coarsely chopped
6 oz. (1 c.) semi-sweet chocolate pieces

Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and spices together; set aside. Cream butter; gradually add brown sugar, creaming well. Mix in orange peel. Alternately add dry ingredients in thirds and evaporated milk in halves, mixing until blended after each addition. Stir in remaining ingredients.
