Chocolate Fudge
Ingredients
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, sliced and softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary ingredients for the recipe.
2
Preheat your oven by greasing an 8-inch square baking pan with a small amount of oil or cooking spray.
3
Combine the sugar and cocoa powder in a medium-sized saucepan, then add milk to the mixture. Stir until everything is well combined and smooth.
4
Set your stovetop to medium-high heat and stir the mixture constantly until it reaches a boil.
5
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and insert a candy thermometer into the saucepan. Allow the mixture to simmer without stirring for about 10 minutes, or until it reaches a temperature of 238 degrees F (114 degrees C).
6
If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the mixture by dropping a small amount into cold water. If it forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface, it's ready.
7
Remove the saucepan from the heat source and let it cool to 110 degrees F (43 degrees C), which should take around 50-70 minutes.
8
During this time, do not disturb the fudge as it cools.
9
Once cooled, add butter and vanilla to the fudge mixture. Use a wooden spoon to beat everything together until it's well incorporated and the fudge has lost its shiny appearance.
10
Pour the cooled fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and press it down to an even layer.
11
Let the fudge cool at room temperature or in the refrigerator before cutting it into 1-inch squares.
12
Finally, indulge in your delicious homemade fudge!
