Ingredients
Method
In heavy saucepan, stir together sugar, milk, butter, chocolate and salt over medium heat until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted. Bring to boil; cover and boil for 2 minutes.Uncover and boil until candy thermometer reaches 234°F (112°C), or soft-ball stage when 1 tsp (5 mL) hot syrup dropped in cold water forms soft ball that flattens when removed from water, 10 to 20 minutes.
Remove from heat; dip bottom of pan in cold water for 30 seconds. Let cool on rack until candy thermometer reaches 110°F (45°C), 30 to 45 minutes.
Beat until thick, creamy, no longer as glossy and forms distinct ridges when beaten, 3 to 5 minutes. (Do not overbeat; if fudge starts to seize up, stop beating.) Spread in parchment paper–lined 9- x 5-inch (2 L) loaf pan; let cool.
Remove from pan. Using knife dipped in hot water, cut into 3/4-inch (2 cm) squares. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 1 week.)
