Ingredients:
3 cups granulated sugar
1 cup milk
3 squares unsweetened chocolate
2 teaspoons corn syrup
3 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
pinch of salt
walnut halves - optional
Instructions:
Combine sugar, milk, chocolate, salt and corn syrup in a heavy 3 qt saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved, chocolate melts, and mixture comes to a boil. Cook to soft ball stage [236 degrees F] without stirring. Remove from heat immediately, add butter and let cool in lukewarm [110 degrees F] by placing pan in cold water. Add vanilla. Beat vigorously until mixture thickens and starts to lose its gloss. Stir in nuts. Spread quickly into buttered pan or platter. Cut into squares. Top each square with a walnut half if desired.
Yield: 18 to 20 pieces
COMMENTS: This was pretty tasty the last time I had it but I have to admit it was a while ago ~ of course I always prefer my fudge without nuts. lol
