LOL It is really easy, but verrrrry good. I got the recipe out of a Baker's Chocolate cookbook pamphlet thingy that my mom had, the thing is from the 70's.

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup margarine
2/3 cup evaporated milk (NOT condensed)
around 35-40 large marshmellows
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 12 oz package of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2-1 cup of walnuts (optional)

mix everything but the vanilla and chocolate chips in a LARGE saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until it comes to a roiling boil. Once it boils, set the timer for 5 minutes and keep stirring. After 5 minutes add the chocolate chips until they melt then remove from heat. Add the vanilla and nuts. Pour immediatly into a very well greased metal 8-8 or 9-9 pan. Let set and cool for a few hours.

The hardest thing is the stirring. I make so much each year that my hands and wrist get sore. Start to finish it takes about 10 minutes. For greasing the pans I use butter flavor Pam, it beats trying to get margarine in the corners of the pan with my nails.
Also, you don't want to let it cool too much before pouring it into the pan. It sets up pretty quickly. As soon as the vanilla and nuts are mixed in completly pour it.
