Chocolate Pecan Fudge

Sugar (granulated),2 cups
Milk,½ cup
Chocolate,2 squares
Butter,1 tablespoon
Flavoring (vanilla),1 teaspoon
Pecan meats,½ cup

When the sugar, milk, chocolate and butter had boiled so that a little of the syrup dropped in cold water formed a soft ball, Betsey removed the saucepan from the fire, stood it in a pan of cold water, added the vanilla and nuts and beat the candy until it was as thick as heavy cream.

She poured it quickly into a buttered pan and marked in squares.
