Directions:
1. Butter or oil an 5 inch square baking pan; set aside.
2. Put sugar, vinegar, syrup, and water in a heavy 4 quart saucepan
(cast iron if you have it). Gently heat the mixture, stirring with a
wooden spoon until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup has melted.
Bring to a boil, cover and boil for 3 minutes, then remove the lid and boil
until the temperature reaches 285 degrees F (140C) on a candy
thermometer. Remove from the heat and stir in the baking soda, mixing
well to allow the bubbles to subside a little.
3. Pour the hot mixture into the prepared pan and leave until just beginning
to set. Mark into squares with a lightly oiled knife. Leave to set
completely. Cut or break into pieces.
4. Combine chocolate chips, shortening, and baking chocolate in a 2-
quart glass bowl. Microwave on High for 2 minutes to melt. (Or use a
double boiler).
Stir with a wooden spoon. Dip candy pieces into chocolate, covering
completely. Let cool on waxed paper.
5. Wrap individually in waxed paper, twisting the ends together, and
store in an airtight container.
