The Easiest Fudge Recipe (I know of)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup evaporated milk
• 1 cup butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 cups brown sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon real vanilla extract

Grease a 9 inch square pan with butter and set aside.

In a large saucepan, combine evaporated milk, butter, sugars and cocoa powder.

Stir constantly while cooking over medium heat. Cook until sugars dissolve and the mixture comes to a boil.

Place a candy thermometer in the mixture, and allow the mixture to boil for 10 minutes. The fudge should reach the "soft ball" stage of 234-240 degrees. Do not allow thermometer to reach more than 240 degrees.

Remove from the heat and add flour and vanilla. Mix thoroughly with a wood spoon of mixer.

Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and cut into 1 1/2 inch squares immediately. Allow the fudge to set up completely before serving.

Make a double batch of this easy recipe. It lasts for a few weeks in a tightly sealed container.
