Chocolate Fudge.

This is often spoiled by over-stirring, slow cooking and a minimum of stirring, should be used.

1 lb Sugar
4oz Dark chocolate, (the higher the chocolate content the better)
6 fl oz Milk
2 oz Best Butter
Vanilla Essence

Stir together milk and sugar, until sugar is dissolved, then cook gently add the chocolate; allow the temperature to rise gradually, to the degree known as thread.
( a small amount dropped into cold water will result in a thread). Stir only if there is a chance of the sugar burning. Remove from the heat and add the butter still do not stir. When nearly cold add the vanilla, and then beat well with a wooden spoon.
Pour onto a greased tray and mark with a knife, break up when cold.
