1. Combine sugar, cream of tartar, cocoa and milk in a medium saucepan. Stir to blend, then bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to a gentle boil. Do not stir again.
2. Place candy thermometer in pan and cook until temperature reaches 240 degrees F or soft ball stage. It cooks for approximately 20 minutes.
*** If you are not using a thermometer, then cook until a drop of this mixture in a cup of cold water forms a soft ball. Feel the ball using your fingers to make sure it is the right consistency. It should flatten when pressed between your fingers.
3. Remove from heat. Add oil and vanilla extract. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes. (For See’s Candy style fudge, add marshmallow cream here. See “chef notes.”). Beat with a wooden spoon until the fudge just starts to loose its sheen. Do not under beat or over beat. (add walnuts if you wish). Immediately pour onto waxed paper or a buttered dish, spread out with knife, and let cool. Cut into about 60 squares.
Chef Notes:
* For old fashioned See’s candy recipe style fudge, add 2 Tbsp. Toonie Moonie organic Marshmallow Crème.
*Click here for Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Fudge.
*The use of cream of tartar helps ensure the sugar does not crystallize on you – a common snafu when candy making!
