Classic Chocolate Fudge

Ingredients

• •2 cups granulated sugar
• •3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• •1/2 cup butter
• •2/3 cup evaporated milk
• •1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• •1/4 teaspoon salt
• •1/2 cup powdered sugar

Directions

1. 1Mix sugar, cocoa powder, butter, and evaporated milk in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. 2Stir constantly until the mixture reaches 238°F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer, about 10-12 minutes.
3. 3Remove from heat and let cool to 110°F without stirring, about 10 minutes.
4. 4Add vanilla extract and salt, then beat vigorously with a wooden spoon for 5-8 minutes until mixture thickens and loses its gloss.
5. 5Stir in powdered sugar until fully combined.
6. 6Pour into a buttered 8x8 inch baking pan and let set at room temperature for 2-3 hours.
7. 7Cut into 16 squares and serve.

💡 Fudge texture depends on cooling undisturbed before beating; agitating the syrup while it is too hot encourages large sugar crystals and a grainy finish.
