Preparation - Manjar Blanco de Chocolate

In a heavy-based saucepan, simmer the first four ingredients together over low heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens to a coating consistency, about ¾ to 1 hour. Mix in the butter and remove from the heat. Pour into a serving dish and allow to set. Decorate with chopped nuts and sifted cocoa.
