2 c. sugar
5 tbsp. cocoa
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. milk
1 tbsp. light corn syrup
3 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. chopped nuts, optional

Combine sugar, cocoa and salt in a 3-3 1/2 quart mixing bowl or casserole. Stir in milk and syrup thoroughly. Add butter. Cover and microwave at high 5 minutes. Microwave uncovered 10-14 minutes. Test by dropping a small amount of mixture in ice water. It should form a small ball when picked up. Cool mixture without stirring to lukewarm.

After 10 minutes casserole may be placed in bowl of cool water, if desired. Add vanilla and nuts, beat until mixture is thick and creamy. Starts to loose shine and hold shape. Pour quickly into buttered plate or 9 x 5 inch or 10 x 6 inch loaf dish. If fudge is too thick to spread, stir in few drops of cream or milk. Makes 1 pound.
