Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2/3 c Milk
2 tb Light Corn Syrup
2 c Sugar
2 oz Baking Chocolate -- Cut Up
2 tb Butter Or Regular Margarine
1 t Vanilla
1 c Peanuts -- Salted, Chopped

Combine the milk, corn syrup, sugar and chocolate in a
heavy 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat,
stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved.
Continue cooking over medium heat until the candy
reaches the soft ball stage (236 degrees F) on the
candy thermometer. Stir occasionally to prevent
sticking. Remove from the heat and add the butter.
Cool to 110 degrees F without stirring, then add the
vanilla. Beat until the fudge begins to lose its
shine. Stir in the peanuts and quickly pour into a
greased 8-inch square baking pan. Cut into squares
when candy is completely cooled. Makes 1 1/2 pounds
