Recipe for "fudge-1"

NAME

     FUDGE-1 - Rich fattening chocolate fudge
     This recipe makes fudge. Not  fudge  brownies,  just  fudge.
     I'm not sure what else to say about it.

INGREDIENTS (Makes 1 20-cm pan)

     400 g     sugar (granulated)
     225 ml    condensed milk (unsweetened!)
     40 g      butter
     1 g       salt
     50 g      unsweetened chocolate (I use Hershey's baking cho-
               colate. Bakers chocolate does NOT work)
     15 ml     corn syrup (light)
     300 g     walnuts (chopped)
     5 ml      vanilla extract
     15 ml     rum (I use Stroh's Inlander rum)

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Combine sugar, condensed milk, butter, salt,  cho-
               colate,  and  corn  syrup  in a HEAVY 3-liter sau-
               cepan. Heat slowly.
          (2)  Stir until everything is melted.   When  the  cho-
               colate  is  melted  thoroughly, beat with electric
               mixer (I ain't proud!) until smooth.
          (3)  Let cook to halfway between soft and  medium  ball
               stage (use candy thermometer if available)
          (4)  Let cool until barely touchable. (due to heat)
          (5)  Stir in chopped walnuts, vanilla, and  rum.   Beat
               the mixture until it starts to set.
          (6)  When it starts to set, get it into a 20-cm  square
               pan.   (buttered,  of  course)   If you wait to do
               this, you will eat it out of the saucepan.

NOTES

     This is guaranteed to cause obesity if over-indulged in.

RATING

     Difficulty: Moderate to hard. Melted  chocolate  is  tricky,
     and  the  timing  is fairly important.  Time: about an hour.
     Precision: Measurement important for some ingredients.
