Chocolate Brown Sugar Raisin Fudge

Sugar (brown),22/3 cups
Milk,½ cup
Chocolate,2 squares
Butter,1 tablespoon
Flavoring (vanilla),1 teaspoon
Raisins (seeded),½ cup

While the sugar, milk, chocolate and butter were boiling Betsey poured boiling water over the raisins, let them stand a minute or two, then drained and spread on a towel to absorb all of the moisture. She then cut them in halves.

When a little of the candy dropped into cold water formed a soft ball Betsey removed the saucepan from the stove, placed it in a pan of cold water, added the raisins and vanilla, beat the fudge until it was thick like heavy cream, poured quickly into a buttered pan and marked in squares.
