Chocolate College Fudge

Recipe by: Hershey's 'Recipe Book', 1930 Use a large kettle to make this fudge, as it will boil very high. Break the chocolate into pieces and add the water, or simply mix cocoa and water; cook till thick. Mix the sugar, milk and salt and add to the chocolate; cook slowly, stirring all the time, until the sugar is dissolved, then boil more rapidly until the mixture will make a soft ball when dropped into cold water. Add the butter without stirring and let the mixture stand until it is cold. Now beat vigorously till nearly dry. Place in oblong shallow pans which have been well buttered; cut in squares. A cupful of broken nut meats or candied fruit may be added for variety.
