Answer 1

Here is the recipe I have used for many years.

1 cup cocoa
1 ½ + 2/3 cups milk
¾ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons margarine
3 teaspoons vanilla

Mix sugar, cocoa, milk and salt in Dutch oven. Cook over medium-low heat till soft ball stage (238 degrees). Remove from heat, add butter vanilla.. Cool to warm. Beat till smooth and pour in buttered pan or on buttered platters.

Answer 2

Peanut Butter Fudge

5 cups sugar
1 cup margarine
1 large can evaporated milk
1 cup peanut butter
1 (7oz) jar marshmallow cream

Combine sugar, butter and milk in heavy cookware. Mix well and cook on med. heat until boiling. Let boil for 10 mins. Remove from stove and add Marshmallow cream and peanut butter. Beat well. Pour into greased pan. Let cool.
If you want chocolate add 1-12oz. bag semi-sweet morsels in stead of peanut butter.
She told me the trick was to get fine ground sugar. Someone told me to make sure you have a good heavy pot. Like old pressure cookers.
