This was posted about 6 months ago, I just found out that it was lost somewhere in BTL. Take 2 Cups Sugar (White...) 1 C Condensed mile UNSWEETENED! 2 oz. Hershey's unsweetened baking chocolate (bakers is nfg for some reason) 1/2 tsp. salt combine in heavy kettle. Stir until mixed, cutting up chocolate into 1/4" pieces. Heat slowly until the chocolate is melted. Beat with electric mixer, etc, until the miture is homogenous. Heat, cooking slowly until soft/medium ball boundary. Use the cold water test, I haven't the least idea what temperature to state. Let cool until ~125F (can touch pot, but not hold on for more than 10 sec's.) Add 1 1/2 tsp vanilla 3 tbsp dark rum 1/2 to 1 c chopped walnuts (optional) Stir until mixture starts to loose glossy surface and begins to thicken rapidly. Pour into 6x6 buttered pan
