Combine sugar, half-and-half, corn syrup, and unsweetened
chocolate square in a Dutch oven; cook over low heat,
stirring gently, until sugar dissolves. Cover chocolate
mixture and cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes to wash
down sugar crystals from sides of pan. Uncover and cook to
soft ball stage (238 degrees), stirring occasionally.
Remove chocolate mixture from heat. Add butter and
vanilla. (Do not stir.) Cool to lukewarm (110 degrees);
beat with a wooden spoon until mixture thickens and begins
to lose its gloss. Pour mixture into a buttered 8-inch
square pan, spreading with a spatula. Cool and cut into
squares. Yield: about 1-1/4 pounds.
DOUBLE GOOD FUDGE: Prepare Famous Fudge as directed above,
but pour mixture into a buttered 9-inch square pan.
Prepare Peanut Butter Fudge and pour over chocolate layer.
Yield: 3 pounds.
