Fudge - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 c. sweet milk
2 sq. Baker's unsweetened chocolate
3 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 heaping Tbsp. dark Karo syrup
3/4 tsp. vanilla
1/2-inch stick butter

Preparation

Combine milk and 2 squares of chocolate, heating on a low flame until chocolate melts.
Add 1 cup sugar and salt.
Let it dissolve and then add slowly two remaining cups of sugar one at a time.
Turn heat up and bring to a boil.
Add Karo syrup. Continue to stir bubbling fudge until a drop from a spoon forms a soft ball in cold water.
Turn off flame and add vanilla and butter.
Beat until very thick.
When the fudge has a grayish sheen from so much beating, turn out into buttered platters.
