Chocolate Fudge
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 2 cups powdered milk or 2 cups non-dairy milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 5 tablespoons butter (plus a little extra for greasing) or 5 tablespoons non-hydrogenated margarine (plus a little extra for greasing)
- 34 cup water
- Grease a pan or dish to pour the fudge into to set.
- Sift together the cocoa and milk powder.
- Place the sugar and water together in a saucepan and bring to boil.
- Stir continuously till the sugar syrup has reached one string consistency (to test this, lift a small amount of syrup up and let it drip back into the pan; if it falls in a 'string' then it's done).
- Turn off the heat without removing the saucepan off the stove and add the butter to the sugar syrup- the butter should melt in the heat of the pan but if it doesn't, have the stove on at the lowest temperature.
- Add the sifted cocoa and milk powder to the butter and syrup and mix together until the mixture is smooth.
- If you want harder fudge then keep stirring for longer, having the heat on low but if you want it softer, then stop stirring and take it off the stove.
- Pour the fudge into the pre-greased pan, scraping off any of the mixture that will not pour.
- Making sure your hands are clean, grease the fleshy part of your hands and press the mixture down evenly and smoothly.
- While still unset, cut it small pieces.
- Place the fudge in the refrigerator and wait for it to set.
- When it's done, enjoy!
