Helen Kelly's Fudge

Helen Kelly was the name of the sweet lady who gave this recipe to my mom probably 45 years ago. I know I have had the recipe since I have been married, and that is 42 years. This is a very unique fudge recipe with a very different taste. I absolutely love it.

3 cups sugar
1 envelope unflavored gelatine
1 cup milk
1/2 cup light corn syrup
3 squares of unsweetened chocolate
1 1/4 lbs. butter (needs to be butter)
2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup nuts

Mix sugar and gelatine in pan. Add milk, syrup, chocolate, butter. Cook over low heat to 238 degrees on candy thermometer. Remove from heat and pour into mixing bowl. Add vanilla. Cool 15 minutes, then beat until thick. Add nuts. Pour into buttered pan.
