Magic Fudge



3 cups (36 oz. pkg) semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
Pinch salt
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup nuts

Mix. Pour in pan.

Here is another recipe for Magic Fudge I found, in case you need a little more direction than this one provides. (It didn't call for the melting the chocolate even. I added that. So I'm afraid it may have left out a few more steps too!)

Date & Nut Candy



3 cups brown sugar
1 cup dates, chopped
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup chopped nuts

Mix sugar, dates and milk. Cook over low heat. Stir occasionally until soft ball stage.

Remove from heat and add vanilla and nuts. Beat until stiff. Pour and roll in damp cloth.

(I didn't quite understand the last bit of directions, so I found a bit more explanation here. Luckily, everyone's grandmother used to make this!) ;)
