Grammie Bea'S Chocolate Fudge - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 cups sugar
4 tablespoons cocoa
2 cups milk
1/4 cup margarine or 1/4 cup butter
4 tablespoons marshmallow cream, heaping
1 cup walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon peanut butter, heaping (optional)

Preparation

Stir first 4 ingredients together in a heavy cast iron pan. Bring to a boil.
Boil briskly until mixture forms a soft ball in a glass of cold water (238 degrees F using a candy thermometer).
Take off stove. Stir in marshmallow, walnuts and vanilla. You can also add a heaping T. of peanut butter too!
Pour in well greased 9x13\" pan, and let cool.
Cut into 2\" squares, and refrigerate if desired.
Store in airtight container.
Note: I can tell you from experience, it is best to use the candy thermometer, and DO NOT make on a rainy day, as it will not harden properly! I always make it with the peanut butter.
