I'd use about 3 ounces of the sweetened dark chocolate. Use the skim milk,
with a shot of cream added to make it look like whole milk. You can leave
out the corn syrup if you don't have it, but it might make the fudge
grainy. Do you have any powdered dextrose? If so, use some of that to
replace a little of the sugar and then you can leave out the corn syrup.

Old Fashioned Fudge
(Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook)

2 cups sugar
3/4 cup milk
2 squares (2 oz.) unsweetened chocolate, cut up
1 teaspoon light corn syrup
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts

Butter sides of a heavy 2-quart saucepan. In it, combine suggar, milk,
chocolate, corn syrup, and dash salt. Cook and stir over medium heat until
sugar disolves and mixture comes to a boil. Continue cooking to 234ºF
(soft-ball stage), stirring only as needed to prevent sticking (mixture
should boil gently over entire surface) Immediately remove from heat; add
butter but do not stir. Cool, without stirring to lukewarm (110ºF), for 30
to 40 minutes. Add vanilla and nuts. Beat vigorously for 7 to 10 minutes
or until fudge becomes very thick and loses its gloss.

Immediately spread into a buttered 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Score into squares
while warm; cut when firm. Makes about 1 1/4 pounds.
