• 1 cup milk
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

• Step 1Grease an 8×8 inch square baking pan. Set aside.
• Step 2Combine sugar, cocoa and milk in a medium saucepan. Stir to blend, then bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer. Do not stir again.

It should flatten when pressed between your fingers.
