This fudge with corn syrup recipe is for the "good fudge." The one without nuts or creams. This fudge doesn't use any shortcuts either, so use a candy thermometer for best results.

Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, stir together cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Mix in corn syrup and milk until well blended. Add butter, and heat to between 235 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 water and placed on a flat surface. Occasionally stir.

  2. 2

    Remove from heat, and beat with a wooden spoon until 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.
