CHOCOLATE FUDGE

Chocolate Fudge

I have made this since I was 12 years old (30 years!) so you know it must be easy. I like it because you don't have to use the dreaded candy thermometer and it doesn't need refrigeration.

1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup cocoa
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
2 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix sugar and cocoa in a medium saucepan. Stir in butter, milk, and corn syrup. Bring to a boil and boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla extract. (Add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans if you like.) Pour into 8-inch square pan. Cut into squares.

Hope you like it!
