How to Make Martha's Chocolate Fudge

  1. Combine sugar, butter, evaporated milk, and salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Continue to boil, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 235°F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
  5. Pour the fudge into a buttered 8x8 inch baking pan.
  6. Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature (this takes several hours).
  7. Once completely cool, cut into small squares and enjoy!
