Miss Farmer’s Chocolate Cream Candy
2 cups of sugar,
2/3 a cup of milk,
1 tablespoonful of butter,
2 squares of chocolate,
1 teaspoonful of vanilla.
Put butter into granite saucepan; when melted add sugar and milk. Heat to boiling point; then add chocolate, and stir constantly until chocolate is melted. Boil thirteen minutes, remove from fire, add vanilla, and beat until creamy and mixture begins to sugar slightly around edge of saucepan. Pour at once into a buttered pan, cool slightly and mark in squares. Omit vanilla, and add, while cooking, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of cinnamon.—Boston Cooking School Cook Book—Fannie Merritt Farmer.
