Old Fashioned Chocolate Fudge
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 c Milk
- 4 oz Unsweetened chocolate (sqs)
- 4 c Sugar
- 3 tb Light corn syrup
- 1/4 ts Salt
- 3 tb Butter or margarine
- 1 1/2 ts Vanilla
Instructions:
Combine milk and chocolate in medium-size heavy saucepan; cook
over low heat until chocolate is melted. Add sugar, corn syrup and salt
and cook, stirring constantly, to boiling.
Cook, without stirring to 234F on a candy thermometer. (A teaspoonful
of syrup will form a soft ball when dropped into cold water.) Remove
from heat at once. Add vanilla and butter or margarine, but do not stir
in.
Cool mixture in pan to 110F, or until lukewarm; beat with wooden
spoon until mixture thickens and begins to lose its gloss. (This will take
about 15 minutes.)
Spread in a buttered 8x8x2" pan. Let stand until set and cool; cut into
squares. Makes about 2 pounds.
