1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. pecans or walnuts (optional)

Bring to a boil over moderate heat being careful not to mistake escaping air bubbles for boiling. Then boil slowly, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. (Overcook rather than undercook).

Remove from heat. Stir in chocolate, vanilla, and nuts, if used, until chocolate is melted. Pour into 2 buttered 9 x 9 inch pans. Cool. Yield: 5 pounds.
