How to Make Old Time Chocolate Fudge By Paula Deen
- Grease and flour a 1 1/2-quart glass baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2 cups granulated sugar and ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder until well combined.
- Add 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk and ½ cup light corn syrup. Stir to combine.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches 234-240°F (soft ball stage) on a candy thermometer. This will take approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Carefully remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Stir in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Beat vigorously with a hand mixer or wooden spoon for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture begins to thicken and lose its shine. Work quickly!
- Pour the fudge immediately into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Let the fudge cool and set completely at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Cut into squares and enjoy!
