Chocolate Caramels

Ingredients

• 2½ tablespoons butter
• 2 cups molasses
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ½ cup milk
• 3 squares chocolate
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps

1. Put butter into kettle; when melted, add molasses, sugar, and milk. Stir until sugar is dissolved, and when boiling-point is reached, add chocolate, stirring constantly until chocolate is melted.
