Marian's Fudge - Yum Taste

A family favorite for years, this is a melt in your mouth fudge which will satisfy even the most insistent chocolate craving.

Original recipe makes 1 – 9×9 inch dish

2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened baking chocolate
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup milk
2 cups white sugar
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Butter a 9×9 inch dish.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine chocolate, butter and milk. Bring to a boil and let boil 1 minute. Stir in sugar and salt until dissolved. Heat, stirring constantly, to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Let cool 10 minutes.
Beat fudge with a spoon until it loses its gloss. Pour quickly into the buttered dish. Refrigerate 30 minutes, until firm.
