  Line a 8-9" square pan with foil. Or a plate that has been buttered.

  In a large heavy sauce pan stir in sugar, cocoa powder and 1/8 tsp of salt. Mix well. Gently stir in milk with a wooden spoon (make sure it is a wooden spoon).

  Cook over medium heat stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a full rolling boil.
• 4

  Boil without stirring until balls of candy can be dropped in cold water forming a ball that can be picked up by fingers.

  Remove from heat, add butter and vanilla. Do not stir.

  Cool at room temperature, this could take up to 2 hours or more. Do not stir.
