Chocolate Brown Sugar Fig Fudge
| Sugar (brown), | 22/3 cups |
| Milk, | ½ cup |
| Chocolate, | 2 squares |
| Butter, | 1 tablespoon |
| Flavoring (vanilla), | 1 teaspoon |
| Figs (cut in small pieces), | ½ cup |
The sugar, milk, chocolate and butter were cooked until a little of the syrup dropped in cold water formed a soft ball.
The saucepan was then removed from the fire and stood in a pan of cold water.
Now Betsey added the vanilla and figs (the figs she had prepared by wiping each one with a damp cloth, removing the little hard stem and cutting into small pieces), beat the fudge till it was as thick as heavy cream, poured quickly into the buttered pan and marked in squares.
