pat's chocolate candy
(1 RATING)
Real homemade chocolate candy. My grandfather's wife always made these when she knew I was coming for a visit. Good with or without pecans, but I ALWAYS put pecans on them.

How To Make pat's chocolate candy
-
Step 1Put down about an 18-inch length of wax paper if you are going to ladle the candies. Or grease a 9x9 pan if you are going to pour the candy into a pan.
-
Step 2In a 3-quart sauce pan, over medium-high heat, melt margarine, sugar and milk. Bring to soft boil stage (240). This takes awhile.
-
Step 3Remove from heat, add chips, vanilla and salt. Stir until chips are melted.
-
Step 4Ladle onto waxed paper. Top with pecan half, if desired. This sets up fast, so act quickly. Or pour into greased pan. Score. Top with pecan half. When firm, cut into squares. This is easier, but I like the way the ladled candies look better.
-
Step 5I have made these with butter, but they don't do as well.
