improved by adding nuts. Miss Gertrude Edbrook.

squares best chocolate, grated, Let these boil for eleven min-
utes. Just before time is up add a piece of butter the size of a
walnut. Fudges must be stirred constantly, and when removed
from the fire should be beaten briskly until they harden; then
spread on a buttered platter, cut in small squares and cool; if
nuts are added they should be chopped and put in the syrup

pieces. Boil two cups of sugar with three-fourths of a cup of
water until it threads or can be drawn out in fine bits, after the
syrup is cold, stir in the nuts and a little vanilla and beat until it
creams. Then knead this on a marble slab or large dish as you
would bread, mold into balls and sprinkle pulverized sugar over
them. Maple sugar is good for a change.
