Two 9" pie pans
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 T Hershey's cocoa
- ½ cup evaporated milk
- 2 T white corn syrup
- 2 T butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- dash of salt
- two 9" pie pans
To Prepare
- Thoroughly combine the sugar, cocoa, and salt
- Add the evaporated milk and corn syrup; mix well
- Cook the mixture in a medium-sized saucepan on medium heat (do not use high heat - the sugar will burn), without stirring, until the temperature reaches 234 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove from heat; add the butter and vanilla, but do not stir
- Allow the mixture to cool inside the saucepan until about 220 degrees Fahrenheit, then beat with a wooden spoon until the fudge looses some gloss
- Quickly pour into greased pie pans, just enough to cover the bottom of each (resulting in thin layers of crispy fudge)
- Allow to cool completely before serving
