This is a great amber lidded candy dish and lid made by Indiana Glass for Tiara Exclusives that became popular during the 1970's.

This piece is in mint condition.

Great way to keep either candy, fudge or divinity fresh for the Holidays! _________________________________________

This is my Fudge recipe from my mama's 1940's cookbook.

As you know, fudge is temperamental to make, so here are my tips:

* Pay close attention to the temperature of the mixture while boiling and don't let it get past 236ºF

* Let the fudge mixture cool slightly after you remove it from boiling.

* Stir/beat the mixture until it slightly thickens and loses its gloss.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup whole milk

2 squares of chocolate --OR-- 4-6 tablespoons cocoa + 2 tablespoons butter

2 cups sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon corn syrup

2 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2- cup Nuts- optional

Combine first 5 ingredients in a saucepan. Place over low heat and cook, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves and mixture is well blended.

Increase heat and bring to a boiling point and boil gently WITHOUT STIRRING until softball stage (my personal range is 234-236°F), then remove from heat.

Add butter, cool for around 10 minutes. Add vanilla; beat until it thickens slightly and starts to lose its gloss. Pour immediately into greased pan. Cool and cut.

A GREAT variation to this is try adding a 1/2 to 3/4 cup of Peanut Butter before you add the butter! Delicious!
