1 cup melted butter, cooled to room temperature
6 oz. chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts
1-9" unbaked pie shell

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl beat eggs until foamy. Add flour, brown sugar and sugar. Beat until well blended. Blend in melted butter. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts. Pour into a pie shell. Bake at 325C for one hour. Serve with ice cream. Variation: For an interesting idea buy a package each of white chips, peanut butter chips, and chocolate chips and mix together in a blend of colors. Add walnuts, pour into pie shell, and bake.

The Tin Shoppe


 Some of these tins are English and many of the shapes and designs are not made any longer. These tins are collectable.

A number of the tins we offer are made in Italy and France. Others are imported from Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, and the Far East.

A limited number of tins are made in the United States, but there are only four companies left that make decorative tins.

We have been collecting and packaging nuts and candy gifts in tins since 1981.

Over the years we have designed and produced tins abroad for our holiday catalog.

The process of making tins is extremely interesting. We will describe it on another page.

You almost never see a tin shoppe because it is extremely costly to buy tins in the proper quantities.

Sometimes the minimum run of tins can exceed 10,000 tins of one design.

costly and that is the reason you seldom see such an extensive collection as ours being offered for sale.

We are able to produce and sell tins because we buy in a large enough quantity and we have done so for many years.

We offer you a vast and interesting selection. Have fun and remember - you may be buying today a "collectible" for tomorrow. a tin that has or will eventually go out of production....
