5-Minute Fudge

Ingredients

• 1 pound powdered sugar

• 1/2 cup cocoa

• 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup milk

• 1 stick margarine (1/2 cup)

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Method

Mix sugar and cocoa together thoroughly in large microwable bowl. Pour milk in sugar mixture but do not mix. Set the stick of margarine right on top of the mixture. Microwave on high for 2 1/2 minutes. After the mixture comes out of the microwave, mix well and add vanilla. If it seems to dry, add a little extra milk. (If you add too much milk and it gets to runny then you use the mixture for a topping for ice cream.) At this point you can add nuts or whatever else you like in your fudge. Put the fudge out on plate that is covered with aluminum foil. Place in refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes. It will harden fast.
