My mother used to make this fudge at least once a month - on Sundays - and we would eat it in front of the TV watching the "Sunday Night Movie". We always had it with popcorn and Kool Aid - a perfect Sunday dinner!
It is a bit tricky to make. I would suggest using a thermometer...
3 cups sugar
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup nuts -- chopped
Mix togethr in pan sugar and cocoa. Slowly add the milk and water. Add butter. Cook to softball stage. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Let cool to lukewarm. Beat until creamy and loses its gloss. Add nuts. Pour onto waxed paper.
