Instructions

  1. 1In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, salt, and milk or cream. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Continue to boil until the mixture reaches the soft ball stage, which is when a small amount dropped into cold water forms a soft, pliable ball (about 8 minutes). Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  2. 2Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the Baker's chocolate, butter, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. 3Grease a square baking pan (approximately 8x8 inches) with butter. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Let it cool completely at room temperature until firm.
  4. 4Once the fudge is completely cooled and firm, cut it into squares and serve. Enjoy!
