Piles of @#$* (Fudge)

So named because the first time my mother made these for her father-in-law, he said they looked like cow patties!



2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup butter or margarine

1 (11 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

1/4 cup white sugar

1 tsp. Vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)



Melt chocolate, butter, condensed milk, sugar, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir often. In a separate bowl, combine chocolate mixture, flour and chopped nuts (if used). Drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 to 12 minutes. Cookies will be soft. Enjoy! (makes 6 dozen)
