Old Fashioned Fudge Recipe

In a medium saucepan stir together the cocoa powder sugar and salt. Mix in corn syrup and milk until well blended. Add butter and heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C) or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface. Stir occasionally.

Remove from heat and beat with a wooden spoon until the mixture is thick and loses its gloss. Stir in vanilla and pour into a buttered 9x9 inch baking dish. Let cool until set. Cut into small squares to serve.
