½ cup ( 1 stick) butter or margarine

¾ cup Hershey’s Cocoa

1 ¾ cups sugar

Dash of salt

1 ½ cups (12 ounce can) evaporated milk

 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

All you need to do:

Place the butter in a medium sized microwaveable bowl… you could also use a 4 cup glass measuring cup.

Microwave on HIGH (100%) for 1 – 1 ½ minutes or until melted.

Add the cocoa, and stir until smooth.

Add the sugar, salt and evaporated milk…. stir until well blended.

Microwave on HIGH for 5 -8 minutes or until the mixture comes to a boil, stirring occasionally.  Just a note… mine rarely boils.

Beat with a whisk until smooth.

Add the vanilla and stir.

Variation:  I sometimes add 2 tablespoons brewed coffee.
