How to Make Old Time Chocolate Fudge By Paula Deen

  1. Grease and flour a 1 1/2-quart glass baking dish.
  2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2 cups granulated sugar and ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder until well combined.
  3. Add 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk and ½ cup light corn syrup. Stir to combine.
  4. 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.
  5. Carefully remove the saucepan from the heat.
  6. Stir in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. 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!
  8. Pour the fudge immediately into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  9. Let the fudge cool and set completely at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Cut into squares and enjoy!
