REMEMBER THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS COOK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE OBJECTS THAT COULD BE HARMFUL, LIKE A KNIFE, SO DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO DO THESE RECIPES ALONE.

1. In a 2-quart saucepan, combine sugar, salt, and evaporated milk. Turn stove onto a medium high heat.
2. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
3. In a large bowl, combine semisweet chocolate chips, 4 ounces German sweet chocolate (broken in pieces), mini marshmallows and vanilla.
4. Bring your sugar mixture to a boil.
5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 6 minutes, stirring constantly.
6. Turn off the heat and pour hot sugar mixture over chocolate mixture. Let it sit for 3-5 minutes, so that the chocolate can begin to melt.
7. Mix everything together until blended and totally smooth.
8. Pour mixture into a greased 8-inch square pan, using your spatula to pour it out.
9. Spread it around until it’s even and all the way to the corners.
10. Decorate the top with chopped toasted pecans, chocolate chips or mini marshmallows, if desired.
11. Refrigerate until firm, for about 2 hours.
12. Cut into squares.
13. You can arrange the pieces on a serving plate or place them in clear cellophane to give as gifts. Twist the ends and tie them with silver and red twist ties and ribbons.
