Old Fashioned Fudge - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 c. cocoa
3 c. sugar
1 can Carnation milk
1 stick margarine (Blue Bonnet)
vanilla

Preparation

Combine cocoa, sugar and milk in saucepan.
Remove ingredients from sides of pan before cooking.
When mixture begins to get hot, add margarine, stirring constantly.
After mixture has boiled up in the pan and gone back down, begin testing
for doneness by dropping a few drops of fudge mixture in cool water. When you can make a ball from the mixture, then remove pan from heat.
Have 3 buttered platters ready to
pour the mixture in. Add a teaspoon of vanilla to each platter.
Let set for about 5 minutes.
Beat each platter with upward strokes to allow cooling. Beat until mixture loses shine and will hold shape when dropped by teaspoonfuls on waxed paper.
Recipe yields 60 pieces.
