Chocolate candy doesn’t get any faster or easier! Amish folks would melt the chocolate and condensed milk in a double boiler, but a microwave works well, too.
2 12-oz. bags semisweet chocolate chips (4 cups)
1 14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk
2 T. water
1 ½ cups chopped walnuts (optional)
2 tsp. vanilla
Line a 9×9” pan with waxed paper; set aside. On the stove: melt the chocolate chips, milk, and water in a double boiler over boiling water, stirring until completely blended. In a microwave: use a large microwave-safe bowl to melt the chips, milk, and water, and cook on High one minute at a time, stirring after each interval, until melted and blended. Add the vanilla and nuts, if desired, and pour into the lined pan. Chill about 20 minutes before cutting into squares. Store in an air-tight container with waxed paper between layers.
Kitchen Hint: for thinner pieces, use a larger pan
