This is a very easy fudge recipe and it's not as rich or sugary as most homemade fudge.
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup white corn syrup
3 heaping tablespoons of cocoa
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix all ingredients together. Cook on stove top at medium high heat until mixture reaches 235°F (about 5 minutes). Pour hot mixture from the pan into a mixing bowl.
Beat for 10 minutes or longer, or until the mixture forms a patty with a small top curl, when you drop it onto waxed paper.
