3/4 c Walnuts (optional)
1 c Chocolate chips
1/2 c Sweetened condensed milk
1 tb Butter or margarine
3/4 c Additional butter or
-margarine
1 tb Vanilla extract
3/4 c Firmly packed brown sugar
2 c Flour
1/2 ts Salt
1 -(up to)
2 ts Milk (optional; may use
-water)
Chop walnuts extremely finely. In a microwave or double-boiler, melt
chocolate chips, condensed milk, and 1 tbsp butter, mixing occasionally,
until well mixed to a chocolate frosting consistency. Add nuts, mix, and
cool.
In a separate bowl, cream the rest of the butter with the brown sugar, then
add the vanilla extract, flour, and salt. The dough should be rather
crumbly. If necessary, add the milk or water to make it hold better. Divide
the dough into three equal parts. Roll out onto waxed paper or plastic
wrap, making a rectangle two to three times as long as it is wide. You may
chill the dough if it makes it easier to work with.
Spread a third of the chocolate mixture onto each dough section, and roll
into a jellyroll shape. Bake at 350F for approximately 30 minutes, until
light brown. Cool.
Slice each log into slices between 1/2″ and 1″ in thickness. If you want
to keep them longer, don’t slice the log until ready to serve. The pieces
never last long, though, so I wouldn’t worry!
