How to Make Real Fudge
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup milk. Whisk until smooth.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Continue to boil for exactly 8 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Beat in 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips until completely melted and incorporated.
- Pour the fudge into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
- Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature, undisturbed, for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Do not refrigerate.
- Once firm, cut into squares and enjoy your delicious homemade fudge!
