AMERICAN HERITAGE® Historic Fudge

Ingredients

2 cups sugar
½ cup AMERICAN HERITAGE® Chocolate Drink Mix
Butter the size of a large egg (about 4 tablespoons, with extra to grease the pan)
1 cup milk

Instructions

"Boil until it's sugary on the sides of the pan and puffs up and is thick," is all the undated manuscript offers. We offer the following elaboration: Combine sugar, milk and AMERICAN HERITAGE® Chocolate Drink Mix in a medium saucepan, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer.
To check if it's done, drop a small ball into a bowl of cold water. It should form a soft ball. Or use a sugar thermometer and cook until 240 degrees F. Remove from the heat and beat well with a spoon. The mixture should be very thick and about to set. Pour into a greased 8x8-inch baking pan and let cool. Cut into squares and serve.
