This is the only chocolate fudge that really tastes like fudge to me. The recipe was printed for years on the can of Hershey's Cocoa powder. I'm so glad my mother had the foresight to write it down because it's no longer on the can. I wanted to pass it along. This fudge has a different texture than most of today's fudge. it's not as creamy, and I think the texture is what I love most about it. My sister and I would often stir up a batch on a lazy summer afternoon. We weren't too good at judging a "soft-ball stage" so we sometimes had to eat it with a spoon, but we didn't mind a bit!
