Fudge-Peanut Butter Chewies

These are so easy to make, taste great and are a huge
favorite in our house. The recipe came from Southern
Living magazine about 12 years ago and I got it from a
friend several years later.
Enjoy!

FUDGE-PEANUT BUTTER CHEWIES
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine
1 (14-ounce) can chocolate sweetened condensed milk
(Eagle Brand)
1 cup (6 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 cup (6 ounces) peanut butter morsels
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chopped pecans
5 dozen pecan halves, if desired
Cook first 4 ingredients in a heavy saucepan over
medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until morsels
and butter melt. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla,
flour and chopped pecans. Drop by rounded
teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. If
desired, press a pecan half into center of each mound.
 Bake in a preheated 350-degree F. oven for 5 minutes.
 (My oven is not accurate�temperature needs to be
reduced to 325 degrees. DO NOT OVERBAKE! COOKIES
SHOULD BE �FUDGY� (CHEWY) IN THE MIDDLE. Remove to
wire racks to cool.
Makes approximately 5 dozen cookies.
NOTE: It�s easier to melt butter and morsels in the
microwave.
 
ADDITIONAL NOTE: Eagle Brand has discontinued their
chocolate sweetened condensed milk product. When I
called Borden's to find out why I couldn't locate the
product, they provided me with this recipe to convert
regular Eagle Brand Condensed Milk to the chocolate
flavor. Either add 1/4 cup sifted, unsweetened cocoa
powder (Hershey�s Cocoa) to the 14-ounce can of milk
OR add 2 ounces of unsweetened chocolate squares,
melted.
