This recipe has been in our family for generations.  It's plain, but so delicious.  We have it at every family gathering.
 
2 C. Sugar
1/3 C. Cocoa
2/3 C. Milk
dash of salt
2 T. Butter
1 t. Vanilla
 
Combine sugar, cocoa, milk and salt in heavy saucepan. (My mother and grandmother always used a cast iron skillet). Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook to hard ball stage (take a spoon and dip into the mixture. Let a drop fall into a cup of cold water. If it stays in a ball form, it's ready). Remove from heat. Add butter and vanilla. Stir until thick and no longer glossy. Pour into buttered dish. Refrigerate.
 
Enjoy!
