Recipe information

  • Yield

    yields 2 2/3 cups

Ingredients

One 13-ounce can evaporated milk
2 cups sugar
3 squares (3 ounces) unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and chocolate. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved and chocolate is melted.
