"Hard" fudge... someone has to know what this is!

[Miss Unleaded]

And me too, please!  I posted a request for a whisky fudge recipe a while back but nobody knew.  This may be altered to suit.

Sure, folks. I'll ship it off in the morning. Found it online and added a few modifications.

My mom made hard fudge and it was my favorite!!! She even had a special pan for it and to this day its referred to as the "fudge" pan!

Could you send me the recipe too, please?

[Casey]

Heck, since it is modified from the original, and I've made it, it's mine. Here 'tis.

- 3 C. sugar
- 3 T cocoa
- 3/4 C. milk
Cook it on medium heat until it reaches the soft ball stage (250°F on a candy thermometer).
Remove from heat.
Add
- 1/4 to 1/2 stick butter
- 1 t Vanilla
- Pinch of salt
Beat it until it loses its gloss. Expect your arm to nearly fall off.
Pour it into a buttered dish or pan as soon as it starts to set
Let it cool.
Consume.

Thanks for posting this. So C is a cup, yes? What are T and t? Tablespoon and teaspoon? Are they 15ml and 5ml like here?

[Casey]

C is a cup, T is a tablespoon, t a teaspoon.

*checks online to be sure*

A tablespoon is 15mL and a teaspoon is 5. A stick of butter is 4 ounces, just in case that varies.
