1
Grease a pan or dish to pour the fudge into to set.
-
2
Sift together the cocoa and milk powder.
-
3
Place the sugar and water together in a saucepan and bring to boil.
-
4
Stir continuously till the sugar syrup has reached one string consistency (to test this, lift a small amount of syrup up and let it drip back into the pan; if it falls in a 'string' then it's done).
-
5
Turn off the heat without removing the saucepan off the stove and add the butter to the sugar syrup- the butter should melt in the heat of the pan but if it doesn't, have the stove on at the lowest temperature.
-
6
Add the sifted cocoa and milk powder to the butter and syrup and mix together until the mixture is smooth.
-
7
If you want harder fudge then keep stirring for longer, having the heat on low but if you want it softer, then stop stirring and take it off the stove.
-
8
Pour the fudge into the pre-greased pan, scraping off any of the mixture that will not pour.
-
9
Making sure your hands are clean, grease the fleshy part of your hands and press the mixture down evenly and smoothly.
-
10
While still unset, cut it small pieces.
-
11
Place the fudge in the refrigerator and wait for it to set.

When it's done, enjoy!
