Fudge in a Flash

By kspurlock

Ingredients

• 1 lb. powdered sugar (33/4 Cups)
• 1/2 Cup COCOA POWDER
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• 6 TB. butter
• 4 TB. milk (Laurel uses evaporated, we found 2% worked equally well)
• 1 TB. PURE VANILLA EXTRACT
• 1 Cup chopped nuts, optional

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all of the ingredients, except the nuts, in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently. Stir until bubbles form and continue to cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the nuts if using. Spread into a greased 8x8 pan. Work fast as the fudge will set quickly. Don't worry about scraping the last bits out of the pot because they will sit on top and not blend in, the fudge does set that quickly! When cool, cut into squares.
