Hershey's Cocoa Fudge (Original Recipe)
From: Wendy.Ohio
Recipe By :Hershey Corporation

2/3 cup cocoa
3 cups sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Combine cocoa, sugar and salt in a 3-quart saucepan. Add milk gradually, stirring until smooth.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Stir and boil until temperature reaches 232F on a candy thermometer, or until a small amount of the mixture forms a soft ball in cold water.

Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla; do not stir.

Cool to 110F, then beat until fudge thickens and loses some of its gloss.

Spread in a buttered 8x8-inch pan. When set, cut into squares.
