So rich and nutty, you'll love taking the credit for these. With a hint of vanilla and a whole lot of chocolate, these homemade candies will leave you speechless. Its warm, rich flavor will make you think you're stepping into an old-time candy shop and picking out a freshly-made treat.

- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup chopped pecans
What to Do
-
In the top of a double boiler, heat chocolate and sweetened condensed milk until chocolate melts. Using an electric mixer, beat until mixture thickens. Add vanilla and stir well. Allow to cool long enough so that mixture can be handled.
