Ingredients
- 2 c sugar
- 2/3 c milk
- 2 oz unsweetened chocolate or 1/3 c cocoa
- 2 Tbsp corn syrup
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 c coarsely chopped nuts
Instructions
Butter loaf pan, 9x5x3 inches. Heat sugar, milk, chocolate, corn syrup, and salt in 3-qt saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and sugar is dissolved. Cook, stirring occasionally, to 234 degrees on candy thermometer, or until small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from water. Remove from heat; add butter. Cool, without stirring, to 120 degrees (bottom of pan will be lukewarm). Add vanilla; beat continuously with wooden spoon until candy is thick and no longer glossy, 5-10 minutes (mixture will hold its shape when dropped from spoon). Quickly stir in nuts, if using. Spread in pan. Cool until firm. Cut into about 1-in squares. 32 candies.
