Old fashioned chocolate fudge

Servings: 36 squares

Ingredients:

• 2 cups white sugar
• 1/2 cup cocoa
• 1 cup milk
• 4 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation:

Line a 9×9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper and grease. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa, and milk. Stir to mix together well and bring it to a boil while constantly stirring. Reduce heat to low. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reaches 238 degrees F. Remove from the heat. Add in the butter and vanilla extract. Stir very well with a wooden spoon. Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and let cool for one hour. Place the baking pan in the refrigerator and let set for 3-4 hours.
