Grama's Cocoa Fudge
I can remember one time when I was a girl, and my brother and Aunt (who was our age) didn't really want to include me in what they were doing ( I was the little tag along). My grandma always knew just how to smooth things over between us kids. She pulled me aside and whispered (do you want to help me make some fudge?) It helped me forget all about what they were doing!
2C Sugar ( I reduce mine!)
3T Cocoa
pinch of salt
3/4C milk
1T butter
1tsp vanilla
In a saucepan, blend together sugar, cocoa & salt. Add milk and mix well, put on low flame and stir constantly until it comes to a boil- then do not stir again. Boil slowly until it reaches the softball stage (238 F). Remove from fire and add butter and vanilla - but don't stir! put the pan in cold water (Grama always liked to use icewater in the sink.) When candy no longer feels hot to touch (110 F) beat until creamy and starting to loose its glaze. Turn out into a buttered 9" square pan and mark into squares. Grama always like to keep her fudge in a tin. :-)

My family has been asking for chocolate fudge, I just didn't have a good recipe... gonna try it out :-)
Thanks for sharing
Well that's a lot easier than it seems! Sometimes I wonder what the point to boxed versions are when you could just as easily make it from scratch yourself!
