Strawberry Flavored Chocolate Coated Fudge
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
4 oz evaporated milk
2 oz strawberry syrup (Hershey's if available)
4 oz semisweet chocolate for dipping
Line an 8x10 shallow baking pan with buttered waxed paper.
Put the sugar, butter, evaporated milk and strawberry syrup into a heavy bottomed saucepan and place over low heat. Stir occasionally. Once the sugar is dissolved, bring the mixture to a boil, gently, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and burning on the bottom of the pan. Boil gently until a little of the mixture dropped into cold water forms a soft ball, about 5 minutes. Or place a warmed candy thermometer in the saucepan and boil the mixture until it reaches 234F.
Take the pan off the heat and stir until the mixture thickens and becomes granular, about 3 minutes. Pour the fudge into the lined baking pan and let set. With shaped cutters cut out the fudge and dip one side into the melted chocolate or decorate with piped chocolate, creating different patterns.
