Rick, Deborah, and Julianna's Place

1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
½ pound sweet chocolate
½ cups chopped nuts

DIRECTIONS

Cream butter in electric mixer. Add sugar gradually and blend well. Add yolk and vanilla and blend in. Add flour gradually, then the salt. Blend to moisten flour. Spread in 10/13 rectangle greased cooking pan. Bake 350 for about 20 minutes. While slightly warm, pierce the surface with a fork, then spread with melted chocolate and sprinkle with nuts. Cool. Cut into small squares before the chocolate solidifies, approximately 1 inch.

Note: These were baked every Christmas for as far back as Rick can remember.
