One cupful of molasses, two cupfuls of sugar, one
cupful of milk, one-half pound of chocolate, a piece
of butter half the size of an egg.

Boil the milk and molasses together, scrape the
chocolate fine, and mix with just enough
of the boiling milk and molasses to moisten;
rub it perfectly smooth, then, with the sugar,
stir into the boiling liquid; add the butter,
and boil twenty minutes.

Try as molasses candy, and if it hardens, pour
into a buttered dish. Cut the same as nut candy.
