Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate (broken into small pieces)
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (divided)
Instruction
- Line an 8X8 pan with foil and grease the foil with butter.
- In a large saucepan, bring the sugar, corn syrup and chocolate to a boil over medium heat and stir until smooth.
- Add 1/2 cup cream and stir constantly until a candy thermometer reads 234 degrees. Add another 1/2 cup cream and return mixture to 234 degrees, stirring constantly. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of cream and cook until the temperature reaches 240°. Test candy. (If you are at a high altitude, you may want to begin testing when the mixture reaches 234°.) If the mixture dissolves in the water, you need to keep cooking until the temperature goes up 2 more degrees, then test again. If mixture hardens when a small dollop is placed in ice cold water, then remove from heat and pour into prepared pan.*
- Immediately pour the mixture into the prepared pan and let stand until firm - about 5 hours or overnight.
- Using the foil, lift the candy out of the pan. Remove foil and cut into 1 inch squares. If desired, you can wrap the individual pieces in waxed paper, twisting the ends. These make great gifts for neighbors and friends!
