FUDGE.

to me by a home economics
teacher IS or 80 years ago.
One cup milk, 3 squares or 3
tablespoons chocolate or cocoa,
8 cups sugar. 3 tablespoons
butter or oleo, / teaspoon
vanilla. Mix. Il always use
cocoa instead OF chocolate.)
Add sugar. Add milk. Mix,
Cook without stirring until it
forms the soft ball stage when
tested in cold water. Remove
from heat. add butter and
vanilla. Set in pan of cold
water for a few minutes. Then
beat. Beat until you have to
hurry to turn it into q well
buttered pan or plate before it
hardens. Nuts may be added
during the beating process, If
desired.
The secret is in the beating.
It will look creamy if you have
beaten it enough. You may
vary the amount Of cocoa or
chocolate. You may substitute
brown sugar instead of white,
You may use peanut butter M-5
stead Of cocoa, or coconut.
I don't remember of ever
having a failure and people
always say nice things about
the fudge ] make. ] have
never used the electric mixer.
1t might harden before you
could get the beaters clean but
hand beat it with a spoon.
