    NOTES : This is the recipe we always used when I was a kid straight from the OLD Hershey's Cocoa can. The newer versions all have corn syrup in them...I prefer this one. . Mom's would never set up...even when left for hours in the cold snow of Milwaukee..it was a long time running joke in the family..

    It takes a lot of arm strength to beat the fudge but the result is the classic fudge of "the old days". I have never had trouble with it...maybe mom didn't cook it to a true soft ball temperature.
