2 cups sugar
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup sweet milk
2 squares chocolate
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
Few grains salt
Nuts, if desired

Mix sugar, milk, and chocolate, and put on to cook. Stir until it begins to boil and enough to keep from sticking until it is done.

When it has boiled several minutes, add cream of tartar. Keep crystals scraped down from the sides while cooking. Cook until it forms a firm ball that you can roll between the fingers when a few drops are tested in cold water. Add vanilla, butter, and salt.

Let cool without stirring or jarring. When cold, stir or beat until it loses its shiny appearance. Pour upon buttered dough board, and knead until it is soft and pliable again. Mold into shapes and garnish with nuts.
