• 3 cups of brown sugar,

• Just enough cream to wet the sugar,

• 1 pinch of salt,

• 1 pinch of soda,

• 1 teaspoonful of vanilla,

• Butter size of a hen's egg,

• 1/3 cake of chocolate.


Stir the cream well into the sugar; then place it on the stove.

Watch carefully, so it cannot burn; then, when it begins to boil, add salt and soda.

Later, put in the chocolate and butter.

Take it off before it is quite done; then add the vanilla.

Beat it until it creams; then pour in a dish.

Put out to cool and cut in squares.
