Steps:
- Grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan. Set aside.
- Combine sugar, cocoa and milk in a medium saucepan. Stir to blend, then bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer. Do not stir again.
- Place candy thermometer in pan and cook until temperature reaches 238 degrees F(114 degrees C). If you are not using a thermometer, then cook until a drop of this mixture in a cup of cold water forms a soft ball. Feel the ball with your fingers to make sure it is the right consistency. It should flatten when pressed between your fingers.
- Remove from heat. Add butter or margarine and vanilla extract. Beat with a wooden spoon until the fudge loses its sheen. Do not under beat.
- Pour into prepared pan and let cool. Cut into about 60 squares.

SUPER EASY & DELICIOUS FUDGE
If you like fudge and you like easy, this is the recipe for you! My grandma used to give this to us for Christmas served in circular tins, separated by wax paper. I prefer plain chocolate fudge, but have been known to insert some Andes mints in here or there. I went through a phase in high school where I made this almost bi-weekly.

Steps:
- Spray a large bread pan (or two small bread pans) with a non-stick spray. Also, prepare a double boiler by getting the water boiling. Also, this is a recipe which requires constant stirring, so have a spoon handy!
- In the double boiler, add the butter, vanilla and sweetened condensed milk and melt together. Note: if you don't have a double boiler, create a makeshift one by boiling water in a pot and placing another similar-sized pot over it. It keeps you from burning the chocolate by providing an even heat source.
- Once the mixture is blended and easy to stir, add the chocolate chips, stirring constantly.
- Stir until the mixture is glossy and well blended with no chunks.
- Pour into the prepared bread pan(s). If desired, insert Andes chocolate mints throughout the fudge by pushing it into the top. Let cool completely before serving. (Don't put into the refrigerator to cool either.) Enjoy!

Tips:
- For the smoothest fudge, use a candy thermometer to ensure that the sugar mixture reaches the correct temperature. - If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test. Drop a small amount of the sugar mixture into a cup of cold water. If the mixture forms a soft ball that holds its shape, it is ready. - Don't overcook the fudge. Overcooked fudge will be grainy and crumbly. - To make sure your fudge sets properly, let it cool completely before cutting it. - Fudge can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, or in the refrigerator for up to three months.Conclusion:
Making fudge at home is a fun and easy way to satisfy your sweet tooth. With a few simple ingredients and a little patience, you can create delicious fudge that is perfect for any occasion.
