2 C Sugar (granulated) 2 1/2 t Butter
1 C Condensed milk 1/4 t Salt
-(unsweetened!) 1 T Corn syrup (light)
2 oz Chocolate, unsweetened 1 C Walnuts (chopped)
-(I use Hershey’s baking 1 t Vanilla extract
-chocolate; Baker’s 1 T Rum (I use Stroh’s
-chocolate does NOT work) -Inlander rum)
Combine sugar, condensed milk, butter, salt, chocolate and corn syrup in a
HEAVY 3-quart saucepan. Heat slowly.
Stir until everything is melted. When the chocolate is melted thoroughly,
beat with electric mixer (I ain’t proud!) until smooth.
Let cook to halfway between soft and medium ball stage (use candy
thermometer if available). Let cool until barely touchable (due to heat).
Stir in chopped walnuts, vanilla and rum. Beat the mixture until it starts
to set.
When it starts to set, get it into an 8-inch square pan (buttered, of
course). If you wait to do this, you will eat it out of the saucepan.

brownies, just fudge. I’m not sure what else to say about it. Yield:
Makes 1 8-inch pan.

: Difficulty: Moderate to hard. Melted chocolate is tricky, and the
timing is fairly important.
