Ingredients

1 (11-ounce) box vanilla wafers
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
3 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans

Instructions

Crush vanilla wafers well. (I prefer to use a food processor.) In a large bowl, combine crushed wafers, condensed milk and pecans. Mix well to combine. This takes some work. I usually start with a big wooden spoon but then use my hands. On two pieces of wax paper, divide the mixture evenly. Press to form into two logs. Wrap in the wax paper and refrigerate at least 2 hours to firm up. Slice and serve chilled.

Stacey’s Recipe Note

For even more flavor, you can toast your chopped pecans in a 350 F oven for 5 to 8 minutes. Allow the pecans to cool before adding to the recipe.
