2 c Sugar
2/3 c Heavy cream
1 c Milk
1/4 c Light corn syrup
1/4 ts Salt
1 ts Vanilla
2 1/2 oz Semisweet chocolate pieces;
– chopped
Combine the sugar, cream, milk, corn syrup and salt in a heavy, large
saucepan. Bring slowly to boiling, stirring constantly, until the
sugar dissolves. boil gently, stirring occasionally, until mixture
reaches 238F on the candy thermometer or soft ball stage. Remove from
heat. Cool for 5 minutes. Add the vanilla. Beat in vigorously until
the mixture begins to thicken and lose its glossy look, about 5
minutes. Pour half the fudge into a well buttered 8x8x2-inch baking
pan. Sprinkle evenly with half of the chocolate pieces. Pour in the
remaining fudge. Sprinkle with the remaining chocolate pieces. Cool
completely on a wire rack. Cut into 1- inch squares.
