  • ¾ cup light corn syrup
  • 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate crumbled
  • cups heavy whipping cream divided

Instructions

  • Line a 9X9 pan with parchment paper & spray with cooking spray.
  • In a large saucepan, bring sugar, corn syrup & chocolate to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously until smooth.
  • Add ½ cup heavy cream & continue to stir constantly until a candy thermometer reads 234 degrees.
  • Add another ½ cup of the heavy cream & bring the mixture back up to 234 degrees, still stirring constantly.
  • Add the remaining ½ cup of the heavy cream & this time cook until the temperature reaches 248 degrees.
  • Remove from the heat and immediately pour the mixture into the prepared pan & refrigerate until firm.
  • Use the parchment to lift the candy out of the pan.
  • Cut into 1-inch squares.
  • If you wish to wrap the individual pieces in waxed paper, you will need about 48 3x3 squares of wax paper to wrap & twist the ends.
