Chocolate Fudge Recipe
This recipe came from a very long time dear friend in Vermont. We became very close friends many years ago
when we used to live there too. Once when my son was very young, probably about 2 or 3, my friend and her
husband were visiting and talking to their son who lives in California. My son was upstairs in bed, supposed to be
sleeping but when Dean yelled out, “hey Dan you’re missing the fudge man, bummer!” My son mimicked him
and yelled down the stairs “bummer!” It was hilarious!
Ingredients:
1/3 Cup Milk
1 sq. unsweetened chocolate (or 2 to 3 TBS. of cooa)
Place over low heat stirring until chocolate it melted and mixture is smooth.
Stir in:
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. corn syrup
dash of salt
Cook gently stirring from the bottom occasionally to 236 degrees with a candy thermometer
(a little dropped into cold water (a small cup full of water) forms a soft ball)
Remove from heat.
Add 2 TBS. butter and cool without stirring to lukewarm.
Add 1 tsp. vanilla.
(Add chopped nuts now if desired)
Beat until thick & no longer glossy.
