Ingredients
- 2 ounces Unsweetened chocolate
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 cups Sugar
- 0.6667 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Light corn syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Grease an 8-inch square baking pan lightly with butter and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the unsweetened chocolate and butter. Melt over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth.
Step 3
Stir in the sugar, milk, corn syrup, and salt. Mix well.
Step 4
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
Step 5
Continue to cook without stirring until the mixture reaches 234°F (soft ball stage) on a candy thermometer, or when a small amount dropped into cold water forms a soft ball.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to 110°F without stirring (this may take around 30-40 minutes).
Step 7
Once cooled, add the vanilla extract. Beat the mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon until it thickens and loses some of its gloss, about 5-10 minutes.
Step 8
Quickly pour the fudge into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Let it set at room temperature until firm.
Step 9
Cut into 16 squares and serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
