- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, butter, and milk. Stir well to ensure there are no lumps of cocoa powder clinging to the sides.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. It’s important to keep stirring so the fudge doesn’t stick to the bottom and burn.
- Continue boiling for exactly 1 minute, still stirring constantly. Set a timer! This is crucial for achieving the right consistency.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Using a wooden spoon or a sturdy spatula, beat the fudge mixture vigorously until it starts to thicken and loses its glossy sheen. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the fudge into a prepared pan and spread it evenly. Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm. I usually let it chill overnight for the best results.
- Once the fudge is firm, remove it from the pan and cut it into squares. Serve and enjoy!
