• 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.
