Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, butter, milk, and salt. Make sure everything is well combined before you turn on the heat.
  • Cook Over Medium Heat: Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
  • Boil Without Stirring: Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, stop stirring and insert a candy thermometer. Continue to cook until the thermometer reaches 235°F (113°C), also known as the soft-ball stage. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes.
  • Cool Slightly: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
  • Add Vanilla and Beat: Add the vanilla extract and beat the fudge with a wooden spoon or spatula until it thickens and loses its glossy sheen. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
  • Pour into Pan: Pour the fudge into a greased and lined 8×8 inch square pan.
  • Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  • Cut and Serve: Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut it into squares and enjoy!
