Ingredients

 * 4 	cup	Sugar
 * 3 	dark sweet chocolate
 * 1 1/3 	cup	milk
 * 2 	tbsp	butter
 * 1 	cup	nuts
 * 1 1/3 	tsp	vanilla

Directions

 * 1) In a heavy saucepan mix together the Sugar, chocolate, and milk.
 * 2) Place the pan over high heat and stir constantly until the choclate is melted and the Sugar is dissolved.
 * 3) Bring to a full boil, and lower the heat so the candy continues to boil gently, not vigorously.
 * 4) Stir no more.
 * 5) Put a candy thermometer into the center of the mixture and cook until the temperature reaches exactly 232°F.
 * 6) Meanwhile, butter a large platter (Turkey size) and a flat pan about 11 by 13 inches.
 * 7) When the fudge reaches 232°F.
 * 8) Pour it into the readied platter - do not scrape the pan, but let it drip out.
 * 9) Dot with 2 tablespoons butter and let the mixture cool until the platter feels cool underneath.
 * 10) Add vanilla.
 * 11) Take a large slotted spoon and start to stir the liquidy mixture - it will take about 15 or 20 minutes.
 * 12) You will see a steady change from dark to light color, from glossy to dull, from liquid to solid.
 * 13) When the fudge begins to get dull, add the nuts and mix in thoroughly.
 * 14) Put fudge into the large buttered pan and press into shape with the flat of your palms.
 * 15) Cut into squares; store in airtight container if there's any left.
