The most bang for the buck

I love recipes that taste and look more complicated than they actually are. Recipes like this

* 1/2 cup Evaporated Milk
* 1/4 cup granulated sugar
* 1 3/4 cups (11.5-oz. pkg.)Milk Chocolate Chips
* 1/2 to 1 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract
* 1 cup sliced almonds, finely chopped, toasted

COMBINE evaporated milk and sugar in small, heavy-duty saucepan. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Boil, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

STIR in chocolate. Stir vigorously until mixture is smooth. Stir in almond extract. Refrigerate for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Shape into 1-inch balls; roll in nuts. Cover; refrigerate until ready to serve.

And that yield this



The fancy packaging certainly helps in this case.
