      Yield: 4 servings 
  
    2/3 c  Milk 
      2 tb Light Corn Syrup 
      2 c  Sugar 
      2 oz Baking Chocolate; Cut Up 
      2 tb Butter Or Regular Margarine 
      1 ts Vanilla 
      1 c  Peanuts; Salted, Chopped 
  
  Combine the milk, corn syrup, sugar and chocolate in a heavy 2-quart 
  saucepan.  Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is 
  dissolved.  Continue cooking over medium heat until the candy reaches the 
  soft ball stage (236 degrees F) on the candy thermometer. Stir occasionally 
  to prevent sticking.  Remove from the heat and add the butter. Cool to 110 
  degrees F without stirring, then add the vanilla. Beat until the fudge 
  begins to lose its shine.  Stir in the peanuts and quickly pour into a 
  greased 8-inch square baking pan. Cut into squares when candy is completely 
  cooled.
