Homemade Fudge Question

Hi, I made this fudge 2 days ago, and it didn't set, Hubby said came out like a all day sucker,haha. Anyway this is a recipe I learned from my mother many, many years ago and it has stuck with me every since, and like your mom, mine would just laugh if it didn't set...she even told me once...hey look you found a recipe for slopoke suckers, she got out the popsicle sticks wrapped some of the fudge around a stick and all the neighborhood kids thought it was great! It sounds so much like what you are describing, especially the fine grain part that disolved in your mouth. Here's Mom's recipe, can't be responsible if it doesn't set up ;) 2C Sugar, 4 Heaping Tablespoons Cocoa, 3/4C milk (dollop of peanutbutter opitional) In large saucepan combine all ingredients over med heat Mixture will boil, stir often, cook until soft ball stage. Remove from heat, add peanut butter if you want then use a electric mixer for a min or so or until starts to harden, pour into a buttered 8" square pan. This has a glossy appearance and is more like dark than milk chocolate in color. Refrigerate until set(if your really lucky) Hope this helps!
