This Old Fashioned Fudge is a true stovetop classic, crafted without marshmallows or sweetened condensed milk. By carefully boiling sugar, cocoa, and milk to the “soft ball” stage and then beating it as it cools, you achieve a dense, velvety texture that melts in your mouth with rich, nostalgic chocolate flavor.
