Chocolate Hazelnut Fudge

• 2/3 cup evaporated milk
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• large pinch salt
• 2 cups chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts, pecans or walnuts. (optional)

grease an 8" square cake pan with butter.

Place evaporated milk, sugar and salt in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly. Lower the heat and simmer gently, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes.

Remove pan from heat and add the chocolate chips and nuts if using. Stir the fudge gently with a metal spoon until all chocolate is melted.

Pour the fudge mixture into the greased cake pan and spread evenly. Allow fudge to cool completely before cutting into 1" squares.

If making layered fudge, do not add the nuts to the white chocolate mixture. Pour the dark layer into the greased pan first, then top with the white chocolate mix.
