INGREDIENTS:
1 pound white sugar
1/2 pint water
4 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening
1 (1 ounce) square unsweetened chocolate
DIRECTIONS:
Butter or oil an 8 inch square baking pan; set aside.
Put sugar, vinegar, syrup, and water in a heavy 4 quart
saucepan (cast iron if you have it). Gently heat the
mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon, until sugar
has dissolved and syrup has melted. Bring to a boil,
cover and boil for 3 minutes, then remove lid and boil
until temperature reaches 285 degrees F (140 degrees
C) on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and stir
in the baking soda, mixing well to allow bubbles to
subside a little.
Pour hot mixture into prepared pan and leave until
just beginning to set. Mark into squares with a lightly
oiled knife. Leave to set completely. Cut or break
into pieces.
Combine chocolate chips, shortening, and baking chocolate
in a 2-quart glass bowl. Microwave on High for 2 minutes
to melt. Stir with a wooden spoon. Dip candy pieces
into chocolate, covering completely. Let cool on waxed
paper.
Wrap individually in waxed paper, twisting the ends
together, and store in an airtight container.
