   • In a heavy, 3-quart saucepan, combine the sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and corn syrup.
   • Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil.
   • Add the dates to the mixture and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until a candy thermometer registers 238°F degrees, or until a small amount in cold water forms a soft ball.

2. Finalize the Mixture:

   • Remove the mixture from heat.
   • Add the pecans, walnuts, and vanilla extract.
   • Beat the mixture until it thickens.

3. Shape and Refrigerate:

   • Turn the mixture out onto a board and divide it in half.
   • Shape each half into a roll approximately 1 3/4 inches in diameter.
   • Wrap each roll in waxed paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before proceeding.

4. Coat with Chocolate:

   • In the top of a double boiler, melt the chocolate pieces over hot, but not boiling, water.
   • Remove the melted chocolate from heat.
   • Take the date rolls out from the refrigerator and spread half of the melted chocolate over each roll, ensuring an even coating.

5. Chill and Slice:

   • Refrigerate the date rolls until the chocolate hardens.
   • Once the chocolate is firm, remove the rolls from the refrigerator and wrap them again in waxed paper.
   • When ready to serve, slice the rolls into 1/3-inch thick slices.
