How to Make Cocoa Fudge 1965

  1. Butter an 8x8 inch baking pan and set aside.
  2. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, cocoa powder, and corn syrup.
  3. Stir in the sour cream until well combined.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
  5. Continue cooking, without stirring, until the fudge reaches 235°F (113°C) on a candy thermometer, or until a soft-ball stage is reached (a small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water forms a soft ball that flattens slightly when removed).
  6. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the butter until melted and fully incorporated.
  7. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  8. Let the fudge cool slightly until lukewarm (about 10-15 minutes).
  9. Stir in the chopped nuts (if using).
  10. Beat the fudge vigorously with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until it becomes creamy and loses its glossy sheen, and starts to thicken. This takes about 5-7 minutes.
  11. Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  12. Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature, then cut into squares.
