Melt the chocolate in a skillet over low heat.  Add the butter and sugar and bring to a boil.  Add the evaporated milk and bring back to a boil, stirring frequently.  Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.  Serve hot over vanilla ice cream.  Sprinkle with chopped pecans and top with whipped cream if you want a real treat.

Our comments:  You can't miss with this one.  If you think this sounds boring, just taste it.  It is so easy and so good that it makes you wonder why the fancy restaurants can't do this well with their deserts.
