1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine 2 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, cut up 2 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar 1 (14-ounce) can eagle brand sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk) 1 cup light corn syrup 1 tablespoon instant coffee crystals 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional) |

2. In heavy 3-quart saucepan, melt butter and chocolate. Stir in brown sugar, EAGLE BRAND, corn syrup and coffee crystals. Clip candy thermometer to side of pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thermometer registers 248 (firm-ball stage*). Mixture should boil at moderate, steady rate over entire surface. (It should take 15 to 20 minutes to reach firm-ball stage)
