Ingredients
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Prepare the Pan:
Grease an 8×8-inch square pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. Set aside.
Mix the Ingredients:
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, milk, butter, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir to mix well.
Cook the Mixture:
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes without stirring, or until it reaches the soft-ball stage (234°F/112°C on a candy thermometer).
