Ingredients

• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• 1-1/2 cups milk
• 1/2 stick butter (1/4 cup)
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract

How To Make Hershey’s Cocoa Fudge

1. Add the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt to a large saucepan and mix the ingredients until they are combined. 
2. Add the milk to the saucepan and stir. Turn the heat on medium-high and continue stirring until the mixture begins to boil. 
3. Once the mixture begins to boil, stop stirring and add your thermometer to the side of the saucepan. 
4. Cook until the mixture reaches 234-degrees or forms a soft ball in cold water. 
5. Remove from heat and add the butter and vanilla. DON’T STIR!
6. Cool to about 130-degrees and stir until some of the sheen from the fudge dulls. This may take a few minutes.
7. Pour into a buttered dish.
8. Run a knife gently through the fudge to get rid of some of the air bubbles and allow to set up for several hours. 
9. Refrigerate and enjoy!
