Ingredients
- 1 c granulated sugar
- 1/2 c cream (light)
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2 oz unsweetened chocolate
- 1/4 c butter
- 1 1/2 ts vanilla
Combine the 2 sugars, molasses, cream and coarsely chopped chocolate in a saucepan. Cook over a moderate heat, stirring until sugar and chocolate have melted. Continue cooking, WITHOUT STIRRING, until mixture reaches 238 degrees or until a few drops tested in cold water form a soft ball. Remove from heat, stir in butter and vanilla, cool slightly, then beat until fudge begins to harden. Pour onto a buttered platter and cut into squares before the fudge is completely hard. Makes about 1 1/4 lbs.
