At last the truth can be told. This recipe comes off a box of 10X sugar. Makes a fabulous gift -- pour finished fudge directly into wax paper-lined tin or greased giftable plasticware
1 lb Confectioner's (10X) sugar
6 T butter or margarine
½ C unsweetened cocoa
¼ C milk
1 T vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
1 C chopped pecans (optional)
In medium saucepan, heat sugar, butter, cocoa, milk, vanilla and salt over low heat, stirring until smooth. Stir in nuts, if you're weird and like nuts in your fudge. Spread mixture quickly in buttered 9x5-inch loaf pan. Cool; cut into squares.
