From Emelyn B. Hartridge of Vassar College
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated white sugar
- 1 cup cream
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped

Instructions
- Combine sugar and cream and cook over moderate heat. When this becomes very hot, add the chocolate.
- Stir constantly. Cook until mixture reaches soft-ball stage (234-238 degrees F).
- Remove from heat and add butter. Cool slightly, then mix until fudge starts to thicken.
- Transfer to a buttered tin. Cut into diamond-shaped pieces before fudge hardens completely.
