Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 c cocoa powder, unsweetened
3 c sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 1/2 c milk
1/4 c butter
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Combine cocoa, sugar, and salt in a 3 quart saucepan.
  • 2. Gradually add milk and bring to a bubbly boil on high heat, stirring constantly.
  • 3. Reduce to medium heat and simmer, without stirring, until mixture reaches 234 degrees or a soft-ball stage.
  • 4. Remove from heat, and add butter and vanilla, but do not stir. Set pan in cold water to cool to 110 degrees. This might take 45 minutes or more. Beat until it thickens and the gloss is about gone.
  • 5. Add 1 cup of chopped nuts, if desired. Pour into buttered pan. (I use an 8x8 glass cake dish).
  • 6. Allow to harden in refrigerator before cutting into squares.

I used dark chocolate chips instead of semisweet, and it gave the fudge a richer flavor.
