Directions

• Rub bottom and sides of the pan with butter
• Measure sugar, evaporated milk, corn syrup, chocolate and butter into the pan
• Place over low heat, stirring constantly until sugar and chocolate are dissolved
• Stop stirring
• Place pan on asbestos mat (this shows you how old the recipe really is)
• Put a candy thermometer into the the pan
• Wash down any sugar crystals that form on the sides of the pan using a pastry brush dipped in warm water and continue cooking until mixture reaches 234 degrees
• Remove the pan from heat and let cool, without stirring until 110 degrees (or luke warm)
• Add vanilla
