Categories: Dessert
Yield: 32 Servings

2 c Sugar

3/4 c Milk

2 oz Unsweetened chocolate,cut-up

1 ts Light corn syrup

2 tb Margarine/butter

1 ts Vanilla

1/2 c Chopped nuts (optional)

NOTE: If you don't have unsweetened chocolate, you can substitute 3 level Tablespoons of cocoa powder and 1 Tablespoon of shortening/cooking oil for each oz of chocolate needed.

Line a 9x5x3 loaf pan w/ foil, extending foil over edges of pan. Butter the foil; set aside. Butter the sides of a heavy 2qt. saucepan. In saucepan combine sugar, milk, chocolate, and corn syrup. Cook and stir over med-hi heat to boiling. Carefully clip a candy thermometer to side of pan. Cook and stir over med-low heat to 234F., soft ball stage. (it takes me 20 min on my stove.) Remove saucepan from heat. Add margarine and vanilla, but DO NOT STIR. Cook, w/o stirring to 110F. (about 55 minutes). Remove candy thermometer from pan. Beat mixture vigorously w/ wooden spoon till fudge just begins to thicken. Add nuts, if desired. Continue beating until fudge becomes very thick and just begins to lose it's gloss. (about 10 minutes total). Immediately spread fudge into prepared pan. Score into squares while warm. When candy is firm, use foil to lift out of pan; cut candy into squares. Store tightly covered. Makes 1.25lbs, or about 32 servings.
