Chocolate Fudge
This should definitely only be done by children under the supervision of an adult because high temperatures are involved.
Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
1 cup whipping cream
2 ounces butter
3 tbsp. water
1/2 cup milk
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
Preparation:
Put the sugar, cream, butter, water and milk into a heavy pan and place over a low heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Break the chocolate into small pieces and put into the sugar mixture, still on the low heat and stir until it dissolves. Once dissolved, turn up the heat and bring the mixture to the boil. It should now boil, with an occasional stir, until it reaches 240°F (114 deg C), the soft ball stage. (When a teaspoonful is dropped into a saucer of cold water, it forms a soft ball)
Remove from the heat and beat the mixture with a wooden spoon (best done by an adult) until it thickens. Pour the mixture into an 8 inch square cake pan greased with butter. Leave to set.
Cut into small squares.

Caramel Fudge
Yield: 19 Servings
Ingredients
6 c sugar, divided
2 c light cream
1/4 ts baking soda
1/2 c butter or margarine
8 1/2 c (2 lbs.) pecans, broken
Instructions
The flavor of this golden brown fudge comes from the caramelized
sugar. Combine 4 cups sugar and cream in a heavy 4-quart saucepan.
Set aside. Melt 2 cups sugar in a heavy 10-inch skillet over medium
heat. Stir sugar constantly until it begins to melt. Heat sugar-cream
mixture over medium heat. Continue melting sugar in skillet, stirring
and watching closely so it does not scorch. As soon as it is
completely melted, por liquid sugar in a thin stream into boiling
sugar-cream mixture, stirring constantly. Do not let sugar remain
over heat after completely melted; this will produced a scorched
taste. Cook com- bined mixtures to 246 degrees F. Remove from heat
and add baking soda and butter. Stir in and let candy stand for 30
minutes. Add nuts. Stir to mix; pour into buttered 9-inch square
pans. Cool slightly and cut into squares. Makes about 78 pieces.
