Chocolate Fudge - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 Tbsp. cocoa
3 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. chopped pecans

Preparation

Thoroughly combine sugar and cocoa in a 4-quart saucepan; stir in milk.
Bring to a bubbly boil on medium heat, stirring constantly.
Boil to 234\u00b0 (soft ball stage) on candy thermometer. Bulb of the candy thermometer, boil until a small amount dropped in a half cup of cold water forms a soft ball.
Remove from heat; add margarine and vanilla.
Beat, by hand, until fudge thickens and loses some of its gloss.
Quickly add pecans and spread in a lightly buttered platter or a lightly buttered 9-inch square pan. Cool and cut into squares.
