Hi, we’re the Salvaged Recipes folks. The original directions are a terse list, a can of condensed milk, chocolate chips, "put in pan & melt over med. heat, " with "vanilla" and "1, teaspoon salt" on separate lines and a warning not to overcook. Our instructions keep that same simple method but unpack it: melt the milk and chips together over medium while stirring until smooth, remove from heat, then stir in the salt, vanilla and optional nuts, pour onto a buttered or parchment-lined surface to cool, then cut and serve, making the order easy to follow.
