🍫 Classic Old-Fashioned Chocolate Fudge 🍫

Perfect for satisfying those sweet cravings, this Old-Fashioned Fudge brings back all the cozy, nostalgic vibes! With its creamy texture and rich chocolate flavor, it's a treat you won’t be able to resist. 😍

Ingredients:

✅ 2 cups granulated sugar 🍬

✅ 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 🍫

✅ 1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter 🧈

✅ 1 (5 oz) can Carnation Evaporated Milk 🥛

✅ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿

✅ 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional) 🌰

Instructions:

1️⃣ Prepare the Mixture: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar and cocoa powder. Add the stick of butter and evaporated milk. Stir constantly over medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture starts to bubble.

2️⃣ Boil & Stir: Allow the mixture to come to a rolling boil, stirring frequently. Continue boiling for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly (be careful not to overcook).

3️⃣ Add the Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. For extra crunch, fold in chopped nuts if you like.

4️⃣ Set the Fudge: Pour the mixture into a greased or parchment-lined baking dish. Let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.

5️⃣ Cut & Enjoy: Once the fudge has set, cut it into squares and serve. Perfect for holiday gifting or a nostalgic dessert!

Tips:

Test for Soft Ball Stage: For the perfect texture, you can use a candy thermometer. The mixture should reach around 234°F (112°C).

No Thermometer? No Problem!: Drop a small amount of the fudge mixture into cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it's ready!

Store in an Airtight Container: This fudge can last up to a week (if you can resist eating it all!).

Indulge in this timeless, chocolatey delight! 🍫✨
