Steps
1. Begin by greasing an 8-inch square baking pan with butter to prevent the fudge from sticking.
2. In a large saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
3. Stir in the whole milk and place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it reaches a boil.
4. Once the mixture is boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Add the unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the saucepan and stir until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the hot mixture into the prepared baking pan.
7. Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 2 hours or until it is set.
