On The Stove Recipes

Basic Chocolate Fudge

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate pieces or 4 T. unsweetened cocoa
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 tablespoons butter, in small pieces
2 teaspoons vanilla

Oil 8x8 pan.

Combine chocolate (or cocoa), sugar, milk, and corn syrup in heavy pot. Stir to blend all ingredients.

Cook on low heat, slowly stirring, and bring to a boil. Cover and let boil 2-3 minutes.

Uncover and wash down insides of pot with pastry brush dipped in cold water. Continue to boil slowly without stirring until the syrup reaches the soft ball stage or 234 degrees (see candy syrup stages).

Remove from heat and set on a cooling rack. Add the butter - do not stir. Allow to cool until it is lukewarm (110 degrees).

Add vanilla and stir continually until the mixture loses it gloss and thickens up.

Pour into the oiled pan. Mark into squares. Cool until firm. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container.
