Eula's Notes:

This candy takes my family and friends back to our childhood days. Mom would go in the kitchen after dinner and put this together in about 10 minutes. It's a staple at all our family get together's.

I hope this simple fudge will take you back to childhood!

Directions

Mix sugar and cocoa together until well blended.

Add 1 can milk. Add stick of soft-butter. Mix until well blended. The butter will melt when heat is added.

Put on stove and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and stir constantly until candy reaches soft boil stage. Remove from heat add vanilla. Put kettle into about 3 inches of cold water and continue to stir until candy becomes glossy and you can feel it getting thick. Pour into an 8x8 buttered dish. Let stand until cold. Cut and serve!

You need to put a photo in the box! I would like to see what it looks like before I make it! Do you put any vanilla extract in the recipe?

Soory, I don't have a picture. Yes, VANILLA EXTRACT, does go in the receipe as listed. It's very good...Don't think a picture would stop me from making this. It's fast and easy. Everyone that has tasted this candy loves it! You wouldn't like it if you're not a choc lover!!!

Eula, when I saw this recipe here, my heart jumped for joy and a flood of memories of childhood overcame me. I guess all our mama's made this when we were little. There is no other chocolate fudge I like better than this one. I love the firmness of it and how I use to chizzle away the edge of if with my teeth. No, y'all, it's not a Hard fudge, but it is firm. My mama probably cooked it longer than she should have, but I just love the texture of it. It is SO good.

Thank you for posting it here. I make a 12 layer Old Fashion Cake that is similar to this recipe. Maybe I should post it as well.
