Zubereitung von Dad's Fudge

  1. Butter an 8-inch square or round baking dish.
  2. Prepare your hand-held electric mixer.
  3. Measure out the butter, vanilla extract, and nuts (if using). Toast nuts at 350°F for 10 minutes, shaking halfway through, then set aside to cool.
  4. In a 4-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
  5. Add the milk to the saucepan and stir until completely combined.
  6. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
  7. Continue boiling, stirring constantly, until the mixture forms a soft ball stage when tested in cold water (see note below).
  8. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the butter, vanilla extract, and toasted nuts (if using).
  9. Beat at high speed with the electric mixer until the fudge begins to thicken and lose its gloss.
  10. Quickly pour the fudge into the prepared baking dish, scraping the sides of the saucepan. Spread evenly.
  11. While still warm, cut into squares or slices.
  12. Garnish with whole nut halves, if desired.
  13. **Note:** If the fudge stiffens and loses its gloss simultaneously, you have slightly overcooked it. If this happens, return the fudge to the saucepan, add 1 tablespoon of butter and 2 tablespoons of milk, and melt until smooth over medium heat.
