Sugar (granulated),2 cups
Milk,½ cup
Cocoa,4 tablespoons
Butter,1 tablespoon

After the sugar, milk, cocoa and butter were cooked so that a little of the syrup formed a soft ball when it was dropped in cold water, Betsey removed the saucepan from the fire, stood it in a pan of cold water, added the nuts and flavoring, beat till it was thick like cream, poured quickly into a buttered pan and marked in squares.
