Put one cup granulated sugar in a large saucepan over a slow fire, stir continuously until it first becomes brown, then melts, add the boiling water and stir quickly until thoroughly dissolved. Add the milk, the remainder of the granulated sugar, the brown sugar, chocolate and cream of tartar. Stir until it is thoroughly dissolved. Do not stir after it begins to boil. Boil until it hardens when dropped into very cool water. Add the vanilla just before removing from the fire. Pour into well-buttered shallow pans.
