Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 T. cocoa (The Hershey recipe calls for 2/3 C. of cocoa but Grandma only used 1 tablespoon.)
3 C. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1 ½ C. milk
¼ C. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 C. pecans
Directions:
Directions:
Combine the cocoa, sugar, and salt in a large sauce pan. Add the milk gradually and bring to a “bubbly” boil on high heat. Stir constantly. Reduce the heat to medium and continue boiling without stirring until it reaches 232 degrees or until a small amount of the mixture forms a soft ball when dropped into cool water. Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla. DO NOT STIR. Allow the fudge to cool until it reaches 110 degrees. Beat by hand until the fudge thickens and loses some of its gloss. Add the pecans. Pour and spread fudge into a lightly buttered 8x8 pan. Cool and cut into squares.
