2 c Sugar
1/2 ts Salt
1 c Milk
2 Squares unsweetened choc.
2 tb Butter
1 ts Vanilla
1/2 c Chopped walnuts (Opt.)
1/8 c Chopped candied cherries
Butter a shallow dish and set aside. Combine sugar, salt and milk in a
large saucepan. Add chocolate and cook over low heat until chocolate is
melted. Stirring occasionally, increase heat and bring to full rolling
boil. Continue cooking until it reaches soft ball, 234 degrees F on your
candy thermometer. Remove from heat and add butter. Let cool to about 130
degrees. Add vanilla and beat until fudge begins to thicken. RAPIDLY fold
in walnuts and cherries (if desired), and INSTANTLY turn the mixture into
buttered dish. It’s ready to eat almost immediately. Cut into squares and
serve.
