Mix the sugar and cocoa in a saucepan and add the butter and milk.
Heat gently, stirring constantly until the butter has melted and the sugar dissolved, about 10 minutes.
Stop stirring, bring to the boil and simmer until the mixture reaches the soft ball stage (114˚C on a sugar thermometer).
Immediately remove the pan from the heat, add the vanilla and let stand for 5 minutes.
Beat with a wooden spoon until the fudge begins to thicken, then quickly pour into the tin and mark into squares. Cut when cold.

Did not set and turned into a brown sugary slop.

Sorry to hear it didn’t set! That usually means the mixture didn’t reach a high enough temperature during cooking. Fudge needs to boil to the soft-ball stage (around 114°C) to set properly. Using a sugar thermometer helps, but you can also test by dropping a little into cold water: it should form a soft ball you can roll between your fingers. We hope you give it another go (it’s really worth it!)

I have put my fudge in the freezer is this the best way? EDMONDS: You can freeze fudge, but it’s not the ideal method. We recommend storing it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place or in the fridge if it’s warm. Freezing can sometimes affect the texture, making it a little crumbly once thawed. If you’ve already popped it in the freezer, no worries - just let it defrost at room temperature before serving. It should still taste great!

Love it when it's at the right soft ball stage and I beat it right after the resting period
