Directions
Combine sugar, coarsely chopped chocolate, and cream.
Cook overmoderate heat, stirring only until sugar and chocolate have melted.
Continue cooking until mixture reaches 238 degrees or until a few drops tested in cold water form a soft ball.
Remove from heat, add butter, and cool slightly.
Beat until fudge begins to harden, then transfer to a buttered platter.
Cut into squares before the fudge is absolutely firm.
Variation* To make Wellesley Fudge, add ½ lb of marshmallows when the candy is removed from the heat.
