This recipe calls for making fudge the old-fashioned way...I found an old newspaper clipping in one of my grandmother's cookbooks and this is what it says While fudge is distinctly a fin-de-siecle evolution, primarily associated with college girls and surreptitious social functions, everyone likes it. Read more ., and you may be sure that your masculine contingent tomorrow will take to it most kindly. Fin-de-siecle means end of the century. Ingredients:
2 oz. unsweetened chocolate |
2/3 cup evaporated milk |
2 cups sugar |
dash salt |
1 teaspoon light karo syrup |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Combine chocolate, milk, sugar, salt and Karo syrup and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture comes to a rolling boil.
2. Cook, stirring occasionally, over low heat until candy thermometer reads 236 degrees or until mixture forms a soft ball when rolled in cold water.
3. (Cooking time varies with the stove, but it takes about 30 minutes for one pound.)
4. Take off heat, add butter and vanilla, then place pan in sink filled with cold water.
5. Beat until fudge is fairly thick and creamy.
6. Pour quickly into a buttered 8x8-inch pan and cool.
7. While still warm, cut into 1-inch squares.
8. Do not refrigerate.
