• 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate

4. Stir after each minute.

6. Form cookies by dropping teaspoons of the mixture on a well-greased baking sheet, 1-inch apart.
7. Top each with a whole almond.
8. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, watching the cookies carefully after 8 to 9 minutes, as the bottoms can get too brown.
