Recipe Introduction


6 servings



List of Ingredients




1 cup pecans, chopped (we use chopped almonds on some batches)
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, (butter makes it richer)
1/2 package semisweet chocolate chips, (6 oz size) (1/2 cup)

Recipe



Butter square pan, 9x9x2 inches. Spread chopped nuts in pan. Heat sugar and butter to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, 7 minutes (watch it real close the last minute or two). Immediately spread mixture evenly over nuts in pan. Sprinkle chocolate pieces over hot mixture; place a baking sheet over pan so contained heat will melt chocolate. Spread melted chocolate over canndy. While hot, cut into 1 1/2 inch squares. chill until firm.

Giving as a gift.
Melt another 1/2 cup of chocolate in the microwave. Use an 7x7x2 pan (or smaller than the 9x9x2). Spread the melted chocolate on top of the buttered pan that is covered with the nuts. After the chocolate is spread on top, sprinkle more nuts on top, while chocolate is still warm. Then cut into small sizes. After the candy is set, remove from the pan and wrap individually with dessert foil.
