Chuckwagon: Old West Candy Recipe

Below is an Old West candy recipe from the October 23, 1893 Albuquerque Evening Citizen.

Chocolate Carmels – boil together a pound of white sugar, a quarter of a pound of chocolate, four tablespoons of molasses, a cup of sweet milk, and apiece of butter as big as a walnut.  When it will harden in water, flavor with vanilla and pour on a buttered slab.  When nearly cold, cut in squares.
