Grandpa Perkins' Fudge - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 c. sugar
3 Tbsp. cocoa
1 c. evaporated milk
1/2 c. white syrup
1 Tbsp. butter or margarine
1 tsp. vanilla
nuts (optional)
6 c. sugar
2 c. white Karo syrup

1 small can Pet milk
1/2 lb. real butter

Preparation

Cook the mixture like fudge in a heavy pan, stirring all the time with a wooden spoon.
Test in a cold cup of water to a very firm soft ball, like fudge.
Then remove from heat and start beating by hand or mixer until creamy.
Stir in nuts. You may pour in a damp cloth like a date loaf or pour in a long buttered Pyrex dish.
Let cool and cut.
