Gold Bricks Candy
I am afraid to look! I don’t know how many days there are left before Christmas but I know that soon it will be time to pick out Christmas party invitations, plan Christmas menus and get out the snow shovel.
One of my favorite gifts to buy is chocolate candy. We used to have a candy shop here in our town that was known for their gold brick candy. These were so good that our hometown hero, Cole Porter, would have them shipped to him wherever he might be.
This recipe is as close as I could find to what we used to buy at Arnold’s Candy Shop.
Gold Bricks
5 cups sugar
1 stick of butter (not margarine)
1 large can or 2 medium cans evaporated milk
2 packages chocolate chips
1 large package marshmallows
1 quart pecans
In heavy boiler bring sugar, butter, and milk to a boil. Boil hard for 7 minutes.
Take off heat and stir in chocolate chips and marshmallows.
Beat until thick.
Stir in pecans.
Pour onto wax paper and spread to 1 inch or less thickness.
Let cool.
Cut into small squares.

The only time of the year when I really LOVE chocolate and eat way too much is at Christmas. I may have to attempt that recipe, it looks delicious!

Certainly looks good, but being a lousy cook even when I follow directions I’d somehow manage to make a mess of it. Maybe I can find some already made.
