Instructions: Combine sugar, cocoa, and salt in a casserole dish. Stir in milk and syrup. Mix thoroughly. Add butter. Cover. Microwave on high for 5 minutes.

Mix well. Microwave uncovered for 10-14 minutes. Test by dropping a small amount of mixture in ice water. It should form a small ball when picked up. Let cool, without stirring, until lukewarm (after 10 minutes the casserole may be placed in cool water, if desired). Add vanilla and nuts.

Beat until mixture is thick and creamy, starts to lose its shine, and holds its shape. Pour quickly into buttered plate or 5x9 or 6x10 loaf dish. If fudge is too thick to spread, stir in a few drops of cream or milk.

Makes 1 pound.
