1 lb pecans

1 1/2 cups corn syrup

1 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

2 lbs chocolate wafers

Spread pecans over the bottom of a greased 9 X 13 inch pan.

Pour over pecans and cool. Cover cookie sheets with wax paper and spoon out pecan mixture in small clumps. Freeze until firm for easy dipping.
