   Nutty Chocolate Fudge

Today is National Nutty Fudge Day and I have a delicious, tried and true vintage recipe for us to enjoy.

Nutty Chocolate Fudge

2 cups sugar

2/3 cup milk

2 tablespoons butter

Few grains salt

2 squares unsweetened chocolate, grated

OR 6 tablespoons cocoa

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon coffee extract (optional)

1/2 chopped nuts of choice (walnuts, pecans, pistachios, macademia, hazelnuts, and peanuts are all excellent choices)

Combine sugar, milk, butter, salt and grated chocolate OR cocoa.  Cover until boiling point is reached.  Boil to soft ball stage, (234°-238° F.)  Add vanilla extract and coffee extract and let cool, without stirring, to room temperature.  Beat until mixture is creamy, thick and will hold its shape when dropped from a teaspoon.  Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper or pour into a well-buttered, shallow pan.  Cut into small squares.
