Time 45m

Yield 36 Pieces, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups sugar
2/3 dark unsweetened cocoa, I like Hershey's Cocoa Powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Line 8 or 9 inch square pan with foil.
  • Mix sugar, cocoa and salt in a heavy 4-quart saucepan.
  • Stir in whole milk.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture comes to a full rolling boil.
  • Boil without stirring until mixture reaches 234 degrees on a candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water forms a soft ball.
  • Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla. Do Not Stir. Cool at room temperature to 110 degrees.
  • Stir in pecans.
  • Beat with a wooden spoon until fudge thickens and just begins to loose some of its gloss.
  • Quickly spread into prepared pan.
  • Cool completely.
  • Cut into square.
  • Store in a tightly covered container at room temperature.
