- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted margarine and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the melted Hershey's chocolate to the creamed mixture, mixing well.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, sift 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour.

- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Fold in 1 cup chopped nuts (optional).
