Powdered Sugar Fudge

INGREDIENTS

• ½ cup unsalted butter (+ more to butter the pan)
• ¼ cup evaporated milk (+ more as needed)
• 3½ cups powdered CRYSTAL SUGAR^® (1 pound)
• ½ cup unsweetened baking cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

1. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper with a 1-inch overhang on each side. Butter the lining.
2. Place ½ cup of butter and evaporated milk into a small saucepan. Heat slowly over low heat until the butter is completely melted.
3. Remove from heat, and stir in the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla until completely blended.
4. Press the fudge mixture into the prepared pan using a rubber spatula. Cover with additional foil or paper so the fudge does not dry out.
5. Chill until cool enough to handle by letting it rest on an elevated bake rack.
6. Remove from the pan by lifting the lining carefully. Remove the lining and cut into squares.
