Quick Nutty Fudge

  • 1 lb powdered sugar
  • 1.2 cup cocoa
  • 1.4 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 4 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 1 cup nuts (chopped or crushed) *I prefer walnuts*

Combine all ingredients except nuts in a double boiler*.  Stir until smooth and mix comes to the “soft ball” stage.   Add nuts and spread into a buttered candy dish.  Cool and cut into serving sized squares.

*If you are like me and don’t have a double boiler:
I fill up (like an inch or two from the rim) my big spaghetti pot with water, and bring it to a boil.  Then place the smaller pan with all my ingredients in that pot.  Be careful to not get burnt while holding it, and to not let boiling water boil/splash into your fudge mix.  Means you have to stir and work one handed (the other is holding the pan) but it works.
