How to Make Easy Cocoa Fudge

  1. In a small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup (57g) of butter and 1/4 cup (60ml) of water over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is just simmering. Stir constantly to prevent burning.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar, 1/2 cup (40g) dry milk powder, 1/2 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until fully combined and no lumps remain.
  3. Gradually pour the melted butter mixture into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until smooth and creamy.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup (60g) of your favorite chopped nuts (optional).
  5. Pour the fudge mixture into an 8x8 inch baking pan that has been lightly greased with butter.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until firm.
  7. Cut into squares and enjoy!
