Creamy chocolate fudge

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 ounces Unsweetened chocolate
2 cups Sugar
⅔ cup Evaporated milk or thin cream
2 tablespoons Corn syrup
3 tablespoons Butter
1 teaspoon Vanilla

Directions

Grease an 8x8" square pan with butter. Grease a heavy-bottomed saucepan with butter. Grate the chocolate into it and add the sugar, milk and corn syrup. Stir over low heat until chocolate melts and sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to medium-high and boil the mixture until it reaches soft ball stage (240F.). Stir just enough to prevent scorching., remove from the heat and add the butter. Cool to lukewarm (110F.) without stirring. Add the vanilla. Beat until the candy loses its gloss and becomes thick enough to hold its shape.

This will take 10 minutes if you use a heavy electric mixer and longer by hand. Immediately pat into the prepared pan. Cool and cut into squares. Yields 36 pieces. From the book "Canadian Christmas Cooking" by Rose Murray AR/92 April Roche, Fidonet-Cooking Submitted By JR BYERS On 12-15-95
