Stick To Your Teeth Chocolate Cookies

• 2 1-ounce squares unsweetened chocolate
• 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 1  cup  graham cracker crumbs, finely ground
• 1/8  teaspoon  salt
• 1/2  cup  chopped walnuts
• 1  teaspoon  vanilla
• 24 shelled walnut halves
• Walnut halves

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Using a double boiler, melt the chocolate in a medium size bowl. Add the milk and stir until the mixture thickens, approximately 5 minutes. Remove the bowl from heat and add the crumbs, salt, nuts, and vanilla and stir until well combined. Work quickly as the mixture will become stiff. Using a spoon, drop the mixture into rounded teaspoons onto a prepared greased cookie sheet. Place half a walnut on top of each cookie. Place cookies in oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove cookies from oven and quickly transfer onto waxed paper to cool.
