I got this recipe so long ago I can't remember the circumstances. It's
just easy.
Fudge
Janet Bostwick
12/2020
1 pound powdered sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
6 Tablespoons butter
4 Tablespoons milk
1 Tablespoon vanilla
dash salt
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

There are no instructions with this recipe card, so I'll tell you
exactly what I do/

Butter sides and bottom of a 9x9 inch pan.
Measure the milk and butter into a 3 or 4 quart heavy pot.
Measure out the powdered sugar,salt and cocoa and sift or stir until
well blended.

Heat (at medium temperature) the milk and butter mixture until almost
boiling. Stir in the powdered sugar/cocoa mixture and stir, stir,
stir. The point is you want to create a smooth, glossy mixture with
no lumps.
When the mixture is smooth and glossy stir in the vanilla and nuts if
desired.
Immediately pour into prepared pan and smooth surface.
Let cool completely before cutting.

If you line the pan with parchment paper after buttering the pan you
will be able to lift out the entire fudge so that you can cut it
neatly.
