• 1 pound confectioners' sugar (3-3/4 cups)
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup cocoa
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted (see Note, below)

In a medium saucepan, heat sugar, butter, cocoa, milk, vanilla and salt over low heat, stirring until smooth and mixture begins to thicken. Stir in pecans. Spread mixture quickly in a buttered 9x5-inch loaf pan. Cool and cut into squares. Makes 2 dozen pieces.

Note: Lightly toasting the pecans will make a big flavor difference. Spread them out on a baking sheet and toast at 350°F for 4 or 5 minutes, or until you begin to smell them.
