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.
