2 T. canned milk (such as Pet or
Carnation.)
2¾ cups white chocolate
cut in pieces or grated
Nuts if you desire
Melt the margarine, marshmallows, chocolate chips, corn syrup and canned milk together over very low heat, stirring to keep from sticking. When mixture is well blended, add the white chocolate and continue cooking over very low heat (it is very important that white chocolate never boils) until white chocolate is dissolved. Keep stirring. Work quickly to add nuts or coconut, if desired, and pour into a well buttered pan. Let set to cool and cut in squares as you desire. Note: This is a satisfying candy, not too sweet and with addition of black walnuts is very appealing taste wise. Edna Partridge

Store in a cool place. These freeze nicely so can be made well in advance of using. If you have any chocolate mixture left over, coat some pretzels. Edna Partridge
