HERSHEY'S OLD FASHIONED RICH COCOA FUDGE



Hershey's Old Fashioned Rich Cocoa Fudge image

This is a crumbly, sugary old fashion fudge....from the back of the Hershey's Cocoa can. Cook time is cooling time. If you are having trouble with it "setting up", you probably didn't cook it long enough. I have learned (the hard way!) to not trust my candy thermometer and to use to soft ball stage water test to make sure it is the right temperature. Even under cooking it by 2-3° will result in a soft, sticky mess. It still taste good though. :) Some good suggestions from reviewers: (I highly recommend reading through all the reviews before making this fudge!) - don't try to bring up temp too quickly - a large shallow saucepan works better than a deeper one

Categories     Candy

Time 3h10m

Yield 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups sugar
2/3 cup cocoa
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups whole milk, no substitute
1/4 cup real butter, no substitute
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Line 8 or 9 inch square pan with foil; butter foil.
  • In large heavy saucepan stir together first three ingredients; stir in milk, with a wooden spoon*.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a full rolling boil.
  • Boil without stirring, to 234 degrees F on a candy thermometer (or until syrup, when dropped in very cold water forms a soft ball which flattens when removed from water). Bulb of candy thermometer should not rest on bottom of pan. (This can take 20-30 minutes).
  • Remove from heat. Add butter & vanilla.
  • DO NOT STIR! Cool at room temperature to 110 degrees F (lukewarm). (This can take 2 to 2-1/2 hours).
  • Beat with wooden spoon until fudge thickens & loses some of its gloss. (This can take 15-20 minutes. It really works best if you have someone to 'tag-team' with.) It starts to look more like frosting than a thick syrup when it is ready.
  • Quickly spread into prepared pan; cool.
  • Cut into squares.
  • Store wrapped loosely in foil in the refrigerator.
  • *it is very important not to use a wire whisk or the fudge will not set up. Also just stir gently, even though the cocoa will stay floating on top, it will mix in as the mixture heats up.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. This will help to prevent the fudge from burning.
  • Don't overcook the fudge. Overcooked fudge will be grainy and crumbly. To test if the fudge is done, drop a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the fudge forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it. This will help to prevent the fudge from crumbling.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Fudge can be stored for up to two weeks.
  • To make different flavors of fudge, add different extracts or flavorings to the mixture. Some popular flavors include chocolate, peanut butter, vanilla, and mint.

Conclusion:

Candy bar fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a rich and creamy fudge that will satisfy your sweet tooth. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give candy bar fudge a try. You won't be disappointed!
