INSTRUCTIONS

Over medium heat, add sugar, cocoa, and salt to a saucepan and stir to combine. Add milk and stir constantly allowing the chocolate to come to a full rolling boil. Recipe Details

Add a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan and let the chocolate continue to boil, without stirring, until it reaches 234°F. Go To Recipe

Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla, but do not stir. Let the fudge cool at room temperature and when it's at 110°F, quickly stir it until the fudge starts to thicken.

Then, quickly spread the fudge in a prepared pan and allow to cool completely. I love topping it with crushed peppermint. Then cut into squares. Go To Recipe

Enjoy!
