Chocolate Fudge with Brown Sugar
| Sugar (brown), | 22/3 cups |
| Milk, | ½ cup |
| Chocolate, | 2 squares |
| Butter, | 1 tablespoon |
| Flavoring (vanilla), | 1 teaspoon |
As before, Betsey put the sugar, milk, chocolate and butter in the saucepan and on to boil and let them cook until a little of the syrup dropped in cold water formed a soft ball between the thumb and finger, then adding the vanilla, she removed the saucepan from the fire and placed it in a pan of cold water. After beating the fudge until it was as thick as heavy cream, Betsey poured it into the buttered pan and marked in squares.
If mother happened to be out of chocolate, which sometimes occurred, Betsey made a fudge with cocoa or coffee.
