1 1/2 c mixes nuts or dried fruit of choice
1 lb milk chocolate, chopped
2 Tbsp butter
1 can(s) sweetened condensed milk
1 pinch salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp strong coffee or
1 tsp coffee liqueur

Steps:

1. Line an 8"x8" pan with two strips of parchment paper the width of the pan with at least 3" of overhang on each side.
2. In a glass bowl, mix chocolate, butter, milk and salt. Place bowl over double boiler with simmering water. Stir until chocolate is smooth, about 5 - 10 minutes. Or put in microwave for 1 minute at a time until melted and well blended, this is easier but must be watched carefully not to over cook.
