• ½ cup milk,
• 3 tablespoons butter,
• 2 ½ cups powdered sugar,
• 6 tablespoons of cocoa powder,
• Pinch of salt,
• 1 teaspoon vanilla.

Mix all ingredients together but vanilla; cook, stirring constantly, until it begins to boil, then cook slowly, stirring occasionally, eight to ten minutes, or until it makes a firm ball when dropped in cold water. When cooked enough, add the vanilla and beat with a wooden spoon until it seems like very cold molasses in winter (very thick). Pour into a buttered pan; when firm, cut into squares.

Make sure you don't beat too much the mixture, because if you do, you won't be able to pour it into the pan, and it will not have a gloss on top.
