Hershey's Rich Cocoa Fudge

Ingredients:

• 3 cups sugar

• 2/3 cups Hershey's cocoa

• 1/8 tsp salt

• 1 1/2 cups milk

• 1/4 cup butter

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Line 8 or 9 inch square pan with foil, extending foil over edges of pan. Butter foil.

2. Mix sugar, cocoa and salt in heavy 4qt saucepan; stir in milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a full rolling boil. Boil, without stirring, until mixture reaches 234 F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water forms a soft ball which flattens when removed from water.

3. Remove from heat. Add butter and vanilla. Do not stir. Cool at room temperature to 110 F. Beat with wooden spoon until fudge thickens and just begins to lose some of its gloss (about 7 mins). Quickly spread in prepared pan; cool completely. Cut into squares. Store tightly in covered container at room temperature.
