Coconut Chocolate Candy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 c. butter (1 1/2 sticks)
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. salt
5 2/3 c. confectioners sugar (1 1/2 boxes)
1 (16 oz.) pkg. flaked coconut
1 lb. chopped pecans
3 oz. paraffin (1/2 block)
1 1/2 lb. semi-sweet chocolate morsels

Preparation

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat but do not allow to brown.
Whisk in the condensed milk, vanilla and salt. Then add the confectioners sugar, coconut and pecans.
Mix quickly; you will have to use your hands.
Coat a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with vegetable spray.
Transfer the candy mixture to the pan and pat it in place firmly, using the palm of your hand to smooth the surface evenly.
Cover and store in the coldest part of your refrigerator overnight.
