- 2-tbsp. corn syrup----------------Pastry brush shopping list
- 1-cup heavy cream-------------- Heavy saucepan (4 qt.) shopping list
- 1/4 cup butter(1/2 stick)-------- Candy thermometer * shopping list

- ( Baker’s unsweetened) shopping list
How to make it
- Put ice cubes on marble slab or Formica to cool it. Combine sugar, liquid, butter, syrup, cream, salt and chocolate in heavy saucepan; stir mixture well before putting on heat.
- Cook on medium heat, stirring in little circles with wooden spoon until mixture begins to boil. Use pastry brush and water to wash down sides of pan to get rid of sugar granules.
- Remove wooden spoon and keep boiling until mixture reaches soft ball stage (240 degrees F.) Remove ice from slab and wipe water off with hand leaving slab wet. Pour mixture on slab without scraping pan. (A single granule of sugar at this point will turn mixture to sugar) Let mixture cool, but not too cold before beating. Add 1 tsp vanilla. Knead mixture with putty knife. The mixture loses its gloss and thins up, then thickens again and goes into a hard ball. It will seem like it takes forever for it to get hard, be patient and keep kneading the mixture. Once hard it is now fudge. Scrape fudge off slab and place in a 1 gallon zip-lock freezer bag. Knead with hands, same as you knead bread,
- until fudge becomes smooth and creamy. Place fudge on a flat surface and smooth to the desired thickness, folding the bag to make it smaller if needed. Let cool. Cut into small squares and serve.
