The sugar, milk, chocolate and butter Betsey boiled until a little of the syrup dropped in cold water formed a soft ball. Removing the saucepan from the fire, she placed it in a pan of cold water, added the vanilla and nuts, then beat until it was thick like heavy cream. Pouring quickly into a buttered pan, she marked it into squares.
