Old-Fashioned Cocoa Fudge image

This is the only chocolate fudge that really tastes like fudge to me. The recipe was printed for years on the can of Hershey's Cocoa powder.

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.

This fudge was terrible! It was too sweet and the texture was like rubber. I threw it away after one bite.

This fudge was a bit of a disappointment. It was too sweet and the texture was too crumbly. I think I'll stick to my old fudge recipe next time.

This fudge was good, but not great. It was a bit too sweet for my taste and the texture was a bit grainy. I think next time I'll try a different recipe.

This fudge was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think next time I'll use less sugar.
