      Title: BETTER HOMES & GARDENS VANILLA FUDGE
 Categories: Candies
      Yield: 1 Lb
 
           -JUDI M. PHELPS
      2 c  Sugar
      1    Can (5-oz) evaporated milk
    1/3 c  Milk
    1/8 ts Salt
    1/4 c  Butter
      1 ts Vanilla extract
           Broken nuts (optional)
 
  Line an 8x4x2-inch loaf pan with foil, extending foil over edges of
  pan. Butter foil; set aside.
  
  Butter the sides of a heavy 2-quart saucepan.  In saucepan combine
  sugar, evaporated milk, milk, and salt.  Cook and stir over
  medium-high heat to boiling.  Carefully clip a candy thermometer to
  the side of the saucepan. Cook and stir over medium-low-heat to 238
  degrees, soft-ball stage (this should take 25 to 35 minutes).
  
  Immediately remove saucepan from heat.  Add butter and vanilla, but
  do not stir.  Cool mixture, without stirring, to 110 degrees,
  lukewarm (about 55 minutes).  Remove candy thermometer from saucepan.
  Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon till fudge becomes very thick and
  just starts to lose its gloss (about 10 minutes total). Do not
  overbeat.
  
  Immediately spread fudge into the prepared pan.  Score into 1-inch
  squares while warm.  Top each square with a piece of nut, if desired.
  When candy is firm, use the foil to lift the fudge out of the pan.
  Cut into squares. Store, tightly covered, in the refrigerator. Makes
  about 1 lb (32 servings).
